Integrated with very good phono???


I'm looking to upgrade but at the same time consolidate the number of boxes on my rack. I'm currently running an Audio Refinement Complete integrated into a 2-box Musical Fidelity phono pre (X-PSU and X-LPS v3) setup. My speakers are Totem Arros and my primary source is an LP12/Adikt (soon w/ 2M Black).

I'd like to stay under $1000 (new or used) and am looking for an integrated that can drive the Arros effectively but also has on-board MM phono performance at or beyond the level of the Musical Fidelity combo? If there is a whopping difference in performance, I'm willing to save a little and stretch my budget by $300-$500 dollars.

I appreciate your suggestions...thanks!

I'd suggest the Plinius 8100, although with the Arro's I like tube integrateds as well. Consider also getting a $700 integrated and a separate $300 phono stage. That might at least match the performance of a $1000 integrated that includes phono, but give you more flexibility.
