Help choosing integrated
@jjue That's great to hear sounds like you made a great choice! Enjoy yourself and happy listening! 
Preamp to amp compatability help.
Hopefully Charles1Dad will chime in he is a Coincident user and fan and has fantastic ears in my opinion. In terms of a new amp, as important, probably more important than matching amp and preamp is matching amp and speakers. Sounds like you want ... 
Decware and Zu. A pairing made in heaven

What to upgrade next?
Of the three choices you listed to me absolutely power tubes. You can do much better than JJ and the change in sound quality isĀ  dramatic and substantial with better tubes. That being said ohhwy61 has some good thoughts above on positioning which ... 
Music Streamer Quality
