If you don’t want a tuner in the amp then what you want is an integrated amp. You can go vintage if you want and there are many fine choices. If that’s the case, look for one which has been recently serviced. Often times, your local record store will have some for sale so you can go an demo them (the stuff my shop sells even comes with a warranty, which is nice for vintage gear)

​

If you don’t want to go with with vintage (which is perfectly reasonable) The good news is that there are a lot of new amps which have integrated phono stages again. Yamaha is making some nice retro-styled amps which start at about 550 and go up… (example)

​

As for adding a streamer to a vintage amp, that’s no issue as it’s just a line level input. So pretty much any input outside the phono input will work.

This is exactly the kind of pontificating that makes so many audiophiles insufferable

I have the cambridge streamer in m y rack and love it. Either I or the wife can break out our phones and stream to it from anywhere in the house , Tidal, sporify, etc… I run my CD player through it as well as a DAC which made a big improvement in sound to me. To me, a laptop would be a big step back in terms of convenience, if nothing else. But, to each their own
