Well Im not an amp designer and have no idea as to how much these things cost to build one but a few suggestions from me would be
Remote Control
4, 8 and 16 ohm speaker inputs
Facility to bypass the preamp
A choice of finish
More than one input
As an optional upgrade you could always throw in a MM phono stage
Hope this helps
