concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand
If you ever want to move it maybe thin sheets of rubber in between the blocks would be a wiser choice than mortor.  
Audio Art Statement cables
I had almost a loom of AA cables at one point, except for the power cables. I tried to give them time to break in/settle in but ultimately sold them and went with Harmonic Technology which were much smoother and more to my liking with the equipmen...

I didn't know it was out either. Thank you for the post!  
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
