I would take the $350 and be done with it.  
Is there a high quality transport that doubles as a Blue Ray player?
Used Oppo. 
Re-issue, CD, SACD, Tape....LP....and what studio tapes are being used....
Yes, I have several CD's and LP's of Astral Weeks. The Japanese CD is excellent.  
LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING
Attacking Atmosphere, one of the most helpful guys on this forum, says it all. 
30 year old player, worth an upgrade?
A used Apollo-R, excellent sound on its own and can be used as a transport should you decide to move to an external DAC. 
Recommended cheaper vintage SS Integrated Amps?
Sherwood made some really nice receivers, not sure if they manufactured integrateds. I had a S-8900 like this one.No affiliation.https://www.ebay.com/itm/333978516408?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&...

Morrow Audio related to Audiogon? Why so many emails?
Obviously he is making a profit at 30 or 40% off. So why screw around with the phony list prices.

@grannyring Are you still doing the Orchid upgrade? 
External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread)
Audio Advisor is advertising a new version of the Node, you may want to check that out, same price. 
Best bang for buck integrated amp for $500
The Yamaha S801 is a nice integrated. I bought one for my son and it does a nice job driving his Harbeth C7's. You should be able to find a used one for a little more than your stated budget.  
Vinyl...should I stay, or should I go?
@liv2teachAs far as falling asleep while listening to records, this works like a charm on my SL1200G.https://www.musicdirect.com/analog-accessories/little-fwend-tonearm-lifter-high
