Noticed you said 'interested' in a jolida amp. Do you have one or is the amp option open too? I bought a vintage Scott integrated modified by Mapleshade. I think they are $975. It has a phono stage that they tweak. I don't even think about amps any more. I've added a VPI Scout to my system a couple of months ago and I don't think about digital much either. In fact, I pretty much don't think at all any more (my wife can attest to that). I just listen to music.
Cheers!
