Do you have any equipment now? Or is this a shopping list?
I agree on the Cronus magnum suggestion, I have the 1 not the 2 and it's only bettered by my Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated.
I had a Jolida 502, it was good but the Cronus blew it away in soundstage and tone, its (cronus) also more affected to tube rolling.
As far as the turntable goes, I just moved from a 30 year old VPI HW-19 mk3 to a Prime with the 3D arm, amazing upgrade.
You might want to rethink the tube phono, especially if you are going with tubes. Could be too much tubbiness.
My system in a 12X16X 10' room
VPI Prime Ortofon 2M Bronze
Lehmann black cube se2
Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated
Focal 1008be2
Everything was used/open box (except for the turntable, it was supposed to be but they upgraded me to a new table).
I probably saved my self around 5k going used.
It took me a while to get here but I'm happy for now with the way my system sounds.
good luck.
