Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?


I’m trying to find a HIGH QUALITY integrated that has:
1. A no-corners-cut real class A - A/B power stage.
2. A real, high quality analog preamp line stage.
3. A good phono stage.

Aside from a few very high end products, the above described integrateds seem not to exist. Why can’t I find a quality integrated? Do we just have to accept having a pile of boxes?

You are correct and there are a great number of delightful integrated but as always its horses for courses.
However in this case you only have to examine the ops track record on antagonistic threads.........
I'm listening to my bedroom system as I write. The ugly old NAD 3020 definitely does not suck, sound wise.
