Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s
The 30.2 XD is the same as the 30.2 anniversary with more choices on the finish. A good buddy of mine owned the 30.2 anniversary and sold them after six months. They are not everyone’s cup of tea! https://generubinaudio.com/shop/ols/products/harb... 
Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s
I have owned the Harbeth 30.1, Compact 7 and the P3ESR. The P3ESR is the one that I like better than the larger Harbeths. I’ve also owned many other speakers but I always go back to the smaller P3 in my 20x15 listening room!! https://www.hifizine.... 
What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1
@decooney I have the QS Silver 70 that I have used with the M30.1, C7 and P3esr. This is the amp that I have! BTW, I use KT88 type tubes!! http://quicksilveraudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Silver-70Manual.pdf  
Rega Apheta 3 Capacitance 1000pF???
Capacitance is important with mm cartridges. Should not have an effect with mc cartridges! 
Member Almarg passed away last night
I am very saddened about this news. Al will be surely missed by me and all that frequent this site. May he rest in peace!! 
...bookshelf speakers that sound good at low volume...
Any LS3/5A type of speaker should fit the bill. You should be able to find a used Spendor 3/5 within your budget. BTW, I have owned many of this type of speaker! 
Yamaha GT-5000
For 8 grand me say nay!! 
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
I am very upset and saddened about this news. These posts will never be the same without the invaluable knowledge that Al brought to them. A true gentleman and he will be surely missed by all. My best wishes to you and his family! 
Which turntable should I choose?
You won’t go wrong with the Technics! 
DL-103 + A23 SUT + Pro-Ject Tube Box DS = ?
Why do you need a SUT with the Pro-Ject Tube Box? Don’t you have enough gain without needing a SUT? 
Better Cartridge/Turntable advice for old-school Hip Hop music
Sell both tables and get a Technics SL1200 GR or SL1200 G. https://www.overtureav.com/?s=technics+turntables&post_type=product  
For audio advice, which channels, if any, do you think are worthwhile on YouTube?

Stereo amp options
You can add an outboard streamer. If you want it built in take a look at the R-N602? It looks like it is the same as the 803 with 80 watts instead of 100 watts!! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022RN602/Yamaha-R-N602.html
