Cable manufacturers?
zavato: "By manufacture, I mean their own wire"The real question when you get down to basics is:How many of them mine and smelt their own metal, which is used to make the wire? 
Most aesthetic classic turntable
The Michell turntables especially the Gyrodechttp://www.michell-engineering.co.uk/history/The SME 10https://sme.co.uk/audio/product/model-10/The Garrard 301/401 with modern plinth from Woodsond or Artisanhttp://www.woodsongaudio.com/products_garra... 
Basis 1400 TT...
Just get the Vector. It is a drop in replacement, and sounds fantastic. You will be very happy with the upgrade from the Rega. Make sure you get the correct Vector arm. I think you need a low cup height, but confirm with Basis to be sure.Best Rega... 
Advice please!!!!
If the price is right there is a buyer 
Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own).
I think you should hear the Proac D-30r as well. The ribbon tweeter and its integration into the overall sound is outstanding. 
High Praise for Basis Audio
Great to hear they are still going. The Basis Vector tonearm was a revelation for me. Great product and very happy to hear the support is still there. 
Best Tube Amp For Sonus Faber? Or Pass XA-100.5? $6-7,500 Budget, Purchasing Used.
Nightfall,If you are interested check with Aesthetix on the cost of swapping out the faceplate. I have a black one too but wanted silver. I think it was under $400

I know this is not on your list, but I have had a great experience with the IMO under appreciated Aexthetix Atlas on a variety of speakers, some fairly difficult to drive, Hybrid with tube front end and zero negative feedback. 200 wpc into 8 ohms ... 
Speaker Cable Suggestions
Wow another useless cable debate. I am sure the bulk of this was no help at all to the OP. 
Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp?
The primary drawback is that you may spend too much time listening and neglect your work, spouse, etc. 
I would like to get into Turntables but ......... HELP!
I would get a Rega or Project which included the cartridge in my price range. If you can buy from a brick and mortar dealer so they can set it up and help you with any issues. 
Audio Research Ref 6 power cord
Not an exact comparison, but I am using a Nordost V2 with my AR Reference phono 3. It made the background more black and improved the overall clarity  
Someone want to verify this?
What was the user name for the guy listing it. Page no longer available.Thanks for calling this out 
Where should I start upgrading?
Looks like it should sound good. What do you want to change in terms of the sound?
