What is the best Integrated amp w/phono for $3000

I used a MF Trivista 300 with B&W 801's with very good results. Just a bit over your price point; and rare to find (limited production run). Gobs of power, warm, musical production. One to consider.

I dislike a "Warm" presentation..
I used Creek equipment for 10 years w/Sony SCD-1 & was satisfied.
Alas the SCD-1 had disc reading isses at the end.
I sold it for $900

Framdoc, how do you like your MF Trivista 300? To me, Musical Fidelity made great integrated amps especially the older one.
I also have good results with Musical Fidelity KW500 integrated amp. I use it to drive a pair B&W 802D. The extra power on the MF really extended the lower end of the 802D. To my ear, the sound of the KW500 is very close to big brother KW750 hybrid preamp and amp. Stereophile review on the KW750 is quite accurate IMO.

Sorry, Ldk, been out of town and not checking forums. I really enjoyed my Trivista 300 with the 801's. As you noted, the depth of power reached into the big woofers and got everything out of the speaker without muddying thing up. I also used them at times with another system driving original Rogers Ls3/5s's. Sounds like overkill for that small speaker but with low volumes, it work so well.
I've got the MF and B&W's boxed up now; I have another system in place and the 300 didn't match up well with these speaker/components.
I never heard the bigger KW series but I bet the family resemblance is there.
