Moving Up from a Jolida JD9

You’re welcome. I’m retired and on a fixed income now so I have to spend wisely. I probably won’t get into streaming and just improve on what I have. I have hundreds of lps and hundreds of cds to keep me happy and occupied and don’t have much interest in getting into something new. I've bought most of my gear used here or on other sites to get more bang for the bucks and I've been lucky so far.
I’m not unhappy with the JD9, it sounds very good for what it is. The caps, nos tubes, and discrete op amps helped quite a bit but it still just sounds like its lacking something. Probably I’ve just got that itch that needs scratching. lol

Used Manley Chinook can be had with your budget 

I've never heard the Chinook. Are they as good as folks say they are?

I am retired as well. This is great, I have much more time to listen to music.

Following up on @tksteingraber.

I was able to bring up my streaming to the level of my vinyl sound quality. The benefits have been simply overwhelming for $12.99 per month. I have access to essentially all music. There is over half a million albums at high resolution, this is completely opened up by scope of music. Not to mention as your knees get more creaky you don’t have to get up enough or risk breaking off a stylist.

You might consider saving up and slowly investing in streaming. I have found you can spread out the payments over six months to years and the benefits are huge just a thought from my experience.. now retired for five years.

Going on seven years for me. My knees aren't great but my lower back is absolutely junk. 
I've thought about getting set up for streaming and may do it next year if I'm still around. I really need to start thinking about downsizing as I can hear my clock ticking nowadays. It'll be tough to sell lps I've had since the sixties.
