The PL2 can take a variety of power tubes (EL34/KT88) and both can take the add on MM phono stage board. I have this setup and it sounded very good. It's not a substitute for a good stand alone phono stage.

Love the integrated but I'm not sure the phono stage is up to par with a top notch external phono stage.

Had a Conrad-Johnson PV-11 with phono that was quite good, had to go to separates to better it. Made the mistake of selling it and have looked back on that one more than once. Others may have other opinions. They can be found used in the 500-800 range.
