Conrad Johnson GAT - What else is there?
Deja Vu preamp.  Google them and give them a call.  I have been using one of their custom preamps for the past 10+ years.  Bested 2 other  CJ preamps.

Lancelock,You heard the Reference +?  How's it compare to their non reference model?

What speaker has the best tweeter?
Dynaudio Esotar 3 is very good! 
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
Joe Congratulations on your purchase.  The 595a sounds like a very special integrated.   Btw I absolutely love the looks of the 595a.  I am sure this will be a very special amp for you.  
Considering an integrated
Forgot that the LTA's have a fantastic headphone amp. 
Considering an integrated
You have gotten some great recommendations  but I would get the LAT Microzolt integrated at around $10k with their deluxe phono section.  Choose their Ultralinear or z40.  They are exceptional.  
Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?
You have got some great suggestions on vintage DD turntables.  I  owned a couple and totally enjoy them but I think you would also have alot of fun if you also pursued a vintage idler drive table.  Garrard or Lenco.  Give it a shot.  Who knows you... 
Coda Tech Amplifier
Lancelock,Any sonic difference between the #8 and #16?  I assume more headroom with the 16 but sonically are they cut from the same cloth? 
Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!
I have a 151 Heathkit by the famous Sam Kim with a mc & mm phono option.  All build from the ground up by master builder Sam Kim.  At my asking price nothing comes close.  7 watts of sinic bliss. 
New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!
Steve Huff just wrote a review on these speakers.  Extremely positive review. 
Super integrated vs equivalent +$$ for new main system
I would look at a Pass integrated.   The Pass 60 integrated would drive your Harbeth's just fine.
