Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s
Keep the Peachtree! The difference in decibels between 300 and 400 watts is negligible. Another factor is the Peachtree has the advanced gallium arsenide output transistors with their much higher switching frequency.  
Reasonably priced preamplifier
Another tube preamp I bought was the made-in-Austrailia Trevor Lees with the black acrylic front panel and clear acrylic top cover. I think I paid less than $1K for it. Certainly a rare piece!  
Reasonably priced preamplifier
Audio Research SP6 is a formidable tube preamp. I bought mine for $675 along with a D75 amp for another $675. These are two classic pieces that are worth double what I paid!

How about the Schiit Mani 2 for $160? Michael Fremer reviewed and liked it. Why pay more?  
Streamer for LTA Aero
Get the N150. Spending twice as much is a waste of $$$$.  
Time for a new cartridge
How much is the re-tipping cost? If you like the sound keep it. If the cost is high - $2500 - I'd buy another mc cartridge. Maybe a Koetsu with a stone body. I've seen them available for that amount.

Phono preamp for a Denon 103R cartridge.
BTW, I have a new DL103R on my  new Pioneer PLX1000 TT. It's an excellent affordable mc cartridge! I use a Bellari SUT into the RGR 4 preamp.
