Record Cleaning Machines
As an alternate thought, I believe that if you are gentle with the records, follow the directions and proceed carefully, all of the machines do a good job.  From the most simple (spin clean, etc.) to the most expensive.  What you pay for is how mu... 
ROON NUCLEUS+ KEEPS CRASHING
I've had a similar problem, though not nearly as frequently as you described.  My iPad is unable to connect and I end up rebooting my Nucleus.  Looking at the Roon blog and emailing them indicates the issues is likely to do with DNS.  Some dynamic... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus?

Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k
Some thoughts on two I've personally owned.Rogue Cronus Magnum II (not the most current III).  My experience, others may have had very different experiences.Pros:  Located in America, nice people, you can call them on the phone.  Very heavy and po... 
BNC and USB from streamer to DAC
I suggest you only have one cable connected at a time if you are comparing input types or cables.  Since a lot of the potential difference may be some form of noise transmission by the cable, having both connected at the same time wont remove that... 
Phono pre amp
At the more expensive end of the spectrum I love my Zesto Andros 1.2.  There are lots of reviews to find online.  It has separate MM and MC inputs so it could accommodate both tables.  Easy access to controls and loading on the back, no dip switch... 
PS Audio Direct Stream DAC w/Roon Nucleus + vs. Auralic Vega G1
I can't comment on the Auralic you are considering or the Mytek you own, but I have the Directstream DAC/Roon Nucleus combination and am very pleased.  I've owned the DSD for more than two years so I have updated the software a couple of times and... 
Reference 3a Decapo Anniversary
I don't know the specific speakers you are listening to but in the 1990's I owned a pair of Reference 3A speakers.  Master Control MMC if I remember correctly.  Marvelous speakers, they sat on Sound Anchor stands.  I traded a pair of Acoustat Spec...

Record Cleaning Machines
The advice to experience these machines before you decide is very sound.  If you know anyone who owns or sells a cleaning machine, try it out.  Clean a record with it.  As stated, online videos show the machine in action.I wanted to offer another ... 
Phono Cartridge for $1,000.
Ortofon Quintet Black is a great MC for $1000. 
Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair
One more vote for the Joseph Audio Pulsars.  I have very similar electronics, at least on the digital side.  Direct Stream DAC into PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium pre and then Dialogue Premium HP amp.  Great combination. 
Most musical stand mount loudspeakers
I have Joseph Audio Pulsars and I love them.  I've paired them with REL T7i subs and they sound wonderful.  Tonally beautiful. Huge and precise soundstage.  Quite dynamic for their size.I listen to a lot of Jazz, acoustic singer songwriter and roc...
