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.

Lumin T2 or Matrix Audio Element X
A TEAC NT-505 is a nice step up from the Bluesound and will do MQA. And you'll save a pile of money. I've heard the T2 at a dealer, but it was with different gear than mine so it's hard to say how it compares to the NT-505.

Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Sorry @luisma31 I wasn't giving advice, just sharing the joy of my vintage DD. I did just put a couple of drops of oil at the top of the spindle however. I suggest looking for the manual for your turntable on vinyl engine.
