What Integrated Amp do You use
The Sugden Signature A21se pure class A, and a Marantz reference Pm14s-1. I love them both for different reasons and will most likely never part with either of them.  
Turntable isolation platform Recommendations?
All you need is butcher block acoustics walnut or Maple slab. Place it on top of several vibrapods spaced symmetrically. Very economical solution. Better yet, place the slab on top of both vibrapods and their companion cones....still a helluva lot... 
Power cord choice?

"Technics for sure"But of course!If your going to the night club....🥱Sota hands down, and I don’t own either.A nice origin live turntable and arm would kill the both of them!😉 best deal in town, and better than tables and arms 5x as much. Aurora o...

What speaker has the best tweeter?
Tannoy pepper pot waveguide, as part of its concentric driver.  
Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth
Tannoy Eaton is very large standmount. unlike what someone else said, it is not overpriced for what you get. It is rather worth every penny. Out of all you mentioned, I’d go Tannoy and not look back. You could also make the bigger jump to the floo... 
It was working before I took it apart
