@stereo5 it seems life’s little challenges become more frequent as we age. Please try to stay positive for a good outcome. wishing you all the best.  
End Game Turntable suggestions
I couldn’t agree more on the recommendation for basis tables and vector 4 tonearm.     The debut above Looks like a good deal. I’ve had two basis tables I’m currently using the 2200 signature and can’t imagine a better presentation.  
speaker cable question
I have never heard harmonic technology speaker cables, but did have some interconnects that I liked. Maybe stay in the line? Love Shunyata power products, I have a Denali power conditioner and sigma power cord that is terrific. Haven’t heard a lot... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?

Oh man RIP great guitar player  
Kimber Cable Select
Kimber is certainly credible wire and been around forever. It must still be popular as it seems to hold its value in the used market. There are lots of great cables on the market Kimber certainly fits the bill.  
For owners of Allnic phono pre amps
I love my Allnic H3000 after living with a 1201 for a while. Both are cut from the same cloth but the H 3000 clearly outperforms 1201.  Both are built like tanks and easy on the tubes.I have had the H3000 for  years and do not anticipate upgrading...

McIntosh Amplifier Gain Specs at Speaker Taps
I drive my thiels with the four ohm tap on my 501s. They are four ohm speakers and work best on this tap.

Tempest by Bob Dylan  
Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...?
I have only heard JA Perspective 2 on your list.  I can't recall the electronics and cabling used but they sounded very nice. I am a Thiel guy so they were definitely in that vein - clear, open, and utterly transparent.    
Thiel Owners
As a longtime Thiel owner I agree completely with Unsound’s sound advice.   
Chris Sommovigo has passed away
RIP Chris.   Spent some time with him at CAF a few years ago.  Have used stereovox,  stereolab and of course Illuminati D60. Sad news.   
Protecting Equipment from Children
I can't get angry at the grandkids.  After all, we have a common enemy, their parents 😂😂😂

Great amp, I am sure it will be a nice match for the Eggys if you go that way.  I bet however it drives the Thiels nicely. Good Luck with your decision.
