Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this?

For that price you could get a good preamp/processor with a separate multichannel amp, which would likely sound better than a receiver.

Maybe consider an NAD T785HD(or T787) AVR with an outboard NAD PP-3i phono preamp. The NAD is rated at 120w/ch(all channels driven) 170w/ch in stereo. It has stellar 2-channel and multichannel performance, Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction, bass management with two sub preouts, multichannel preouts and inputs. I have the older T773(non HDMI) and it is a powerful beast with fantastic music performance. I am also very pleased with my NAD T175HD pre/pro(same guts as T785HD but without amps). The T785HD has all that you requested except for a phono stage which the PP-3i will take care of.

You might look at the Anthem MX700 receiver. It does not have a phono stage, but you could easily add one and be below your budget. Have not heard it, but the Anthem gear is generally believed to have much better 2 channel sound than the mass market brands. If you wanted to you could also add a better 2 channel amp just for the fronts using the pre-outs. If you do that, the MX500 may be a good option, assuming it has pre-outs.

Sorry, that should be MRX 700.
