Which Classic Componets Would You Collect?
Although you have some nice components already, I don't think any of them are or will be collectables-Maybe the LP-12. Right now, 50's & 60's tube audio are highly sought collectables-Certain model AR,KLH, Jensen JBL, Advent speakers. AR, Dual...

Totem Forrest or Vandersteen 3A Sig?
Then you'll like the Forest's forward presentation. The 3a is more forward than the 2ce. I can't imagine making a purchase without hearing either speaker. And your amps can make the difference - if you're ever onthe east coast- you can stop in to ...

Will the Plinius 8200 Mk1 fit my needs?
Quicksilver m 60's, if you can find them. Plinius is very nice but may be too bright (& out of your price range)for average (rock, jazz & folk)production CDs. You'll probably end up not enjoying your CDs anymore. Vandersteen 2ces might be ...

Which 12AX7 Tube?
I've tried many 12ax7 in my Quicksilvers (m60) - Electro Harmonics (edgy & noisy), chinese, some amperex (i think) but - The best sounding were some old Telefunkens. Difficult to reccomend without knowing your system- Trial & error

A knowledgeable AND honest seller/dealer who knows ALL about the turntable- it's history,maintenence etc- Good luck. You'll be surprised at the performance and some of the great deals to be had in vintage turntables 
Any thoughts on older Dual/Denon tables?
Not just the Duals & Denons that sound, work great & ARE reliable - also look at some REK-O-KUT tables.- very nice!If you don't care about automatic functions working , get a Garrard A type. Better yet get a few of them for around $25 a pi...
