Integrating a wifi turntable into my existing Chromecast Audio system
This might work. You could get a Parks Puffin with the coax spdif option and then connect that to a streamer.

James, The UFO album was great.  Not at the level of Strangers in the Night, but more of a "you're there" experience maybe.  I have that version of the Confessor, it's awesome!Jim - I'm streaming Valerie Carter this morning. 
Looking for a new integrated amp
You might be able to find a used Vincent Audio SV 237MK at your budget.  I had the SV 237 and it was excellent.  10 watts of class A power, 150 WPC, and a nice tube preamp section.

Thanks Jim, I will try to check that one out.

UFO - Live in Youngstown '78. I had a little trepidation about this as Strangers in the Night is one of the best live albums ever (IMO), but so far it sounds really good.

Lowell George - Thanks I'll Eat it Here, nice Japanese pressing.  Love this album. 
Jolida Fusion or Vincent SA-32 / hybrid comparison
Just in case someone's looking in the future, I replaced the tubes in my SV-237 with 1965 NOS Tung-Sol 12AX7A and Voskhod 6N1P and it was a noticeable improvement.
