Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp?
Several years back the handmade NVO all tubed unit was all the rage yes I bought one and love it. They just released an updated version https://www.monoandstereo.com/2022/06/new-nvo-spa-one-se-phono-preamplifier.html Might be worth looking into.... 
Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+
Have listened to the SHL5+ and they always sound nice even on not so nice recordings so to me they are not accurate. I'd prefer accuracy and the Perspective2's is the better speaker IMHO  
Acoustic Signature turntables
@plinko when listening to each table, they will be in different environments, listen to the focus of instruments in the soundstage. I personally like DC motor driven tables better I think you can easily hear the stability and microdynamics better ... 
Phono Stage to complement an Ayon Triton Integrated tube amplified
Personally I like the Gold Note PH-10, not only for its sonics but b/c of its versatility.   
High Fidelity Cables?
People still want his contact enhancer and cables They do? To lose more $$$  
What next after Lumin T2
@backwash consider a Bricasti M3. I can't say enough good about this piece    
Wilson CUB I
@rfnoise your amp will have NO problem driving the CUB's. If they are local go have a listen and please report back your thoughts.  
High Fidelity Cables?
As I understand it he is Canada.  So why did he move out of the Country? To not be able to be sued?   
What is your record cleaning regimen?
I find new records require a cleaning before 1st playing. YMMV  
New 55,000 Euro tonearm
So I know nothing about tonearm design BUT I can say I agree with @mijostyn that the room plays a huge amount of good sound. I've been at homes that have over 500k of gear that sounded horrible, not b/c of the equipment but it was the room    
Alta Audio’s Adam speakers
No one own these? Or heard at a dealers?  
Luxman vs Hegal
Just from my own experience and perspective all your gear looks great except your Transparent cables. I’ve owned some over the years and heard them many times and always sucked the energy/life out of my system, Sorry to say. Before you do anything... 
How Do I Choose A Phono Preamp
Anyone own Whest phono units? Thoughts  
Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance
I've heard it with my own ears, power cables can make or break a system. I'm a believer YMMV but open your own ears and just listen    
Kronos Sparta or TechDas Air Force III?
If it was me I'd be going for the Tech Das no question. I believe it has a better heritage and better isolation but sadly I can't afford either, even used. Good luck in whatever you decide.
