Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
My advice should be taken creatively not literally. One can go but.. 
Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ?
Built-in phono? They got to be kidding me.

No, don't go to RMAF - you may like too much what you cannot and never will be able to afford.I still suggest choosing speakers first after visiting dealers. It appears that the OP wants to recreate vintage system at a much higher level, this both... 
Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor
It's quite incredible how different power cords can sound in the same and different systems.At the highest level Purist Audio, Echole and Stage III cables and cords are worth trying, I heard. I only tried Purist and not the latest except the Neptu...

I mentioned Pear Audio because these tables and arms are in fact a reincarnation and continuation of Tom Fletcher of Nottingham Analogue design ideas. They get good press too, and prices appear to be quite low for now.I too wouldn't spend much on ...

How is the phono in his preamp? 
Furukawa power cables
There are PS Audio AC-12 top of the line cords for $379 here. PS Audio sells them directly for $1200. Are they fake or not?

Bill,As always, good post, encouraging even inspirational but with a warning.As for the best pressings, I think some of us could help here.Yeah, taking dealers' time with little possibility of buying from them doesn't feel good. However, how else ... 
Furukawa power cables
No no no. Get one of those $100 cords and report back so we will know. Audiogon is also work. 
Current speaker threads are boring
The last interesting speaker thread was about vintage speakers and speaker technology advances, or as some thought the lack of them. Different impressions, different angles, different points of view. Most old guard members stopped posting here or ...

It appears that no-one directly compared Luxman, Accuphase and Pass. Until that's done I don't see how one can choose. This would be a guess that might not turn out to be a lucky one. External phono stage that would almost certainly outperform bot... 
Sellers increasingly overgrade records
Yeah, ebay is better, I bought a few records on discogs and have no intention to continue doing it. At least I never had any problems with ebay when had to return records. When the condition is not as stated seller must accept the return even if h...
