OP,  You already have one of the best integrated on your list, Accuphase E-650. I would only sell mine to jump on E-800 :-)  
Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be!
I wipe clean all of my LP’s prior to playback with ‘ahp Klangtuch IV’ microfiber cloth which helps eliminate electrostatic charges. 
The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation
Plenty of great music and recordings available on CD, Streaming and Vinyl. Ever since switching to Streaming five years ago, I became very selective in what I buy on CD or Vinyl. My current collection of CD’s and Vinyl are under 200 each and they ...
