Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

I'm glad they don't...

Hi, kavakid,
I'm glad that manufacturers aren't jumping on the bandwagon and adding phono stages. They just take up valuable space and circuitry and limit the number of line input connections. I've seen a few integrated amps that had a phono stage/line connection with a switch to choose either one. That seems like a reasonable compromise. As others have mentioned, phono preamps can be had for very little money. Let the owner decide which phono stage they want to use.

Same for built-in DACS, I'd rather leave them out of integrated amps and preamps. Just adds cost to the unit and like phono stages, I want to choose which DAC I want to use.

Regards,
Tom
