A well-designed one-box preamp with phono and line stage and internal power supply can be quite excellent! Many examples abound! Audio Research SP14 comes to mind - there is one for sale now on Audiogon!
The ML6 comprised two identical chassis's, each containing a single channel phono and line stage. Each chassis had its own input selector and volume control.
