That's not true actually. There are plenty of other manufacturers of integrated that offer a phono stage as an option. Bryston does, I think BAT does, and there are many others.
Well more to the point why do some recomend against this. And, has Rowland overcome any of the problems associated with phone stages in intergrateds (ie: power supplies)
