Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2
You should put the Nagra Classic Phono on your audition list. I have heard they may be producing a High Definition Phono, which you may also want to consider. https://www.nagraaudio.com/product/nagra-classic-phono/  
Is a Garrard 401 or 301 "accurate"??
I would just keep the Garrard. I have a 301 in a Woodsong plinth with an upgraded pulley, idler wheel and a Shindo bearing and platter. Some modern turntables may do some things better, but it will be difficult to exceed the overall sound.

Anyone near Bergen County NJ have a pair of Tekton speakers I could listen to?

Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000
Line Magnetic would be a good pick for that sound signature depending on your power needs. Some of them, especially the high powered SET amps, generate quite a bit of heat.

Congrats on your D-48 r speakers. I have owned a lot of ProAc models in the past and now own the D-40r.

From Benz to?
I have a Benz LPS, and a number of other cartridges. I think you should look MY Sonic Lab cartridges (https://mysoniclab.com/) The soundstage was larger, better retrieval of detail, and not bright, but not as warm as the Benz LPS.  
Swap black B&W 805 D3 stands for silver
I would choose the “Advertise with us” option. It was an option in the drop down box.
