What tier do you consider Anthem integrated?
If you are interested in ARC perhaps try one of these incorporated into your system. I was interested (to EQ wide band single drivers), but do not have a SmartPhone or Apple screen to run the ARC. https://www.martinlogan.com/en/product/unison D...

If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?
akgwhiz: I've compared single runs of various solid core copper (speaker wire) in gauges ranging from 18 to 26. Also tried doubling up on some of them. Early on I had more traditional speakers (Reynaud) and later various vintage wide band drive...

All of my tube gear is located in a closed hall closet located behind the speaker wall (speaker wire runs through the wall to the living room). If this is not option then look into a closed/doored ventilated cabinet/rack. If a cat PP's on a live... 
Turntable weight affects speed
How heavy is the weight? My weight (TD125 MkII) is a 45 adaptor attached to the flat side of a medium-small brass Mapleshade cone (3 tiny spots of poster tack) and the total weight is approx. 8 ounces. The DIY weight is as symmetrically balanced...
