Cartridge for a Sony PS-LX5
As long as the tonearm has a standard headshell that allows you to secure the cartridge with mounting screws then yes, it will work with the MP200 cart, or any standard mount cart.  
Room setting: new amp or new speakers?

@tubeguy80 I have all banana connectors on my Aperta speaker cables. I find them more convenient than spades and I have never noticed a difference as long as they are well made with quality metallurgy. My current speakers are Tekton Nebo's, quit l... 
Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup
+1 on the LTA Z40+  The PL Dialog Premium with KT150 tubes will drive your Moab's nicely. And for sure the Aric Audio Transcend Push Pull with KT150's is a special amp that will also drive your speakers well. And a nice set of EL34 tubes will ad... 
A question on amp matching

Another note. I am doing some early morning low level listening and these cable have a marked improvement in clarity, dynamics and resolution in the 55 DB range.

What make and model of HDMI/I2s are you using?

@samureyex  No, the bass might have been a little light at first but it has been there all along. And I can hear more details and textures as well.

Here is my 2 cents. I run an Iris 12th DDC feeding either an Audio Mirror Troubadour III SE DAC via i2s or a Luxman D-05U SACD player via Coax. The AM DAC is R2R the Lux uses Wolfson chips. Both feed a Luxman 595 class A integrated via XLR. Qobuz ...

Try testing the coax connection with any RCA cable. Though not optimal, will pass the signal if it is there to pass.  
Six DAC Comparison
I use an Iris 12th DDC in front of my Audio Mirror DAC. Makes a very noticeable improvement.
