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
