End Game Turntable suggestions
I have the Avenger Reference with Rim, Lyra Etna.  I think you would do well with the HW40.  The only downside is the repair or maintenance on the DD motor.  Something I don't want to deal with ever.

Started with Klipsch pro media in college.  Given to me by my girlfriend.  Now my wife.  One of the if not the most significant event of my audiophile hobby.

Analog vs. digital

Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2?
Ah   Same as me.   I did not like the a5 but I enjoyed the m2.  Side by side comparison.
