12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable?
I purchased "Hamburger Helper" from AliExpress and in tiny itty bitty print after the name on the box it read ('s Buddy). I just have to add hamburger and... Enriched Pasta (wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, ... 
Do NOS Mullard EL34 tubes last much longer than NOS SED (Svetlana) EL34 ?
http://www.audiotubes.com/el34.htm   You might consider a quad of the 70's Chinese EL34's listed @ the bottom of the page for $160. Mullard XF2's look to be around $800/quad.   DeKay  
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ?
"I suggest you 'get out 'n about more'.... ;)" I'm good - I can sit here and listen to "Quadrophenia" while watching old film clips of "Punch and Judy".   DeKay

Peter: Click on both links and they will play @ the same time. With NR's videos you have to cue the first video @ 4:10 - then click on both to play. I'm going to sleep on it and see if I can come up with another combo that works together. I us... 
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ?
"Is there more to this than I’m getting?" Yes and no. That is what it is and I have invited members here to do what I have done by simply posting two videos/sound bites to intermix and play upon one other. I did not expect this to be a BIG DEAL...

looking to replace Fyne speaker jumper cable
Look @ bulk solid core Neotech UP-OCC hookup wire and use bare ends (sans connectors). You can purchase it in either silver or copper with a Teflon wrap (may also be available in cotton wrap). I've used the solid core copper 22 gauge Teflon for ... 
Crossovers? How do you evaluate if crossover is any good?
I stopped using crossovers 20+ years ago, though the whizzer cone is sort of a mechanical crossover.     DeKay  
Using two Luxman integrated amplifiers together
I don't see a problem, plus you could try it both ways (SS pre/tube power - tube pre/SS power). When using the tube preamp section be certain to turn the tube amp on first before turning the SS amp on (reverse this when powering down the units). ... 
Vintage Turntable Recommendation
Slightly over budget would be a Thorens TD145/TD145 MKII in good condition. The MKII has a different arm with a removable wand and both have auto lift @ end of play. A cheaper oddball would be a Philips GA312 (auto lift and a removable cartridge...
