Jungson 88c upgrade

I am looking to move my Jungson 88c into my second system and upgrade and try a new integrated amplifier and was looking for some recommendations in the ~$500-800 range. I think I would like to try either a tubed hybrid or a tube amp and it will be driving a fairly sensitive pair of diy mtm's. Any ideas?

What about something like the Onix sp3? Would something like that be a improvement?

I don't know that you would get much of an improvement, if any, in the price range you are looking at. Some interesting comments here:

Many people feel you will have to go to at least the $1000 and quite possibly into the $1500 area to get a major improvement on the 88C.

What if I did bump the budget to the $1000 range? Are there any similar giant killers like the jungson?
