integrated circuits are superior in this application. You can't achieve the S/N and uncolored response with discreet components, as with integrated circuits in the hands of a talented designer. All the wire, board traces and distance between components make it impossible.
The JC3 isn't the only good phono to use them. How about Walker?
The AHT Non Signature was the only 5 star component at TAS for 2 or 3 years running. These might not be your favorite phono stages, but ICs are limited to budget pieces the same way transistors were 40 years ago.
