Does such a thing exist:

* All in one box, preferably with a narrow rather than wide footprint (though can go back as far as it needs to)
* With phono stage, integral CD player, DAC input
* Preamp out or sub-out
* Power section minimum 20w pc, preferably a bit more

Does such a thing exist - and more to the point does it exist second hand at sensible cash? Anybody got one?

ATC SIACD ticks all boxes except the phono stage I think. I was going to point to the one on pfm but that appears to be sold now. Denon DM41 at the other end of the scale, would also need a phono stage.

you can get most in one box but I'm not aware of one with inbuilt phono stage. e.g.

I heard one of these at Bristol and liked it, doesn't break the bank either. Pity no phono though.

Yes I seem to remember Tim being rather impressed by it at Bristol as well ...

Devialet Expert Pro series. No CD player, but digital input from a transport.

First class phono stage and DAC, power and stunning sound quality.

Sensible price? Depends on what you call sensible. [emoji4]

(Obvious, but......If you have a separate phono then make sure the box has a line input)

Check out the Nova Fidelity kit, I've been looking at them for myself, but think some of the models have an amp section too.

Leema Acoustics Pulse III- wide format, no CD player but everything else is covered. Very decent mm/mc phono stage and plenty of power. Come up on ebay regularly. There's one on there at the moment for £599/offers.
