In Reply to: RE: If I go separate phono preamp, I'm kinda stuck there, too. I really posted by Opus 33 1/3 on November 04, 2015 at 09:42:43
I know what you're saying.
I love the flexibility of having an outboard phono and with the EAR 834P that I had, I found the CineMag SUT to be a superior performer vs the EAR's own internal MC step-up-transformers. So we had even more cables to deal with in wiring all those bits together.
And now you want to find an integrated that sounds as good as your separates AND have a phonostage that sounds equally as good as your present setup. All on a reasonable budget.
It's a tough challenge so whatever you choose, I'd be real curious to get your impressions.

B&K ST1400 amplifier. I like the modulus tube phono section every bit as much as I did the 834P.

If you're looking for a lightweight power amplifier, check out the Crown XLS series Class D amplifiers. Amazon is selling them at a deep discount. I just bought the Crown XLS-1500 because it was so cheap at $199. It weighs only about 9-lbs and delivers 300-wpc into 8-ohms and 525-wpc into 4-ohms. If you don't need that much power, the Crown XLS-1000 provides 215-wpc into 8-ohms for only $179.
Good luck,
