I take your point, the output CFs in my phono preamp are an entire extra stage which would not be needed if it were integrated in the preamp. On the other hand IMO (and I think in yours, too) properly designed CFs (active tails etc) have very little sonic signature.

To me the tipping point is in the complexity of the power supply - each of the PS for these amps is bad enough by itself, combining them would be just too much. I already find that by the time I have a problem to fix in one of my creations I am struggling to remember what all the bits do and I have to comb back through my design notes. Doubling the complexity would make this at least twice as hard, probably more.
