Top 10 might be too much but so far only top 5 found without placing in particular order I'd like to finalize the following:#1 from Hotmailjbc >>Forgetting to enjoy the music<<#2 from Ahendler >>Listening to others opinions rathe... 
Power Cords--Your Preference?
Audiofeil! Stop hurting little kidz LOL! 
Phono cable construction
The rewireing speaks for itself because the wire inside the arm is the same wire inside the RCA interconnects and the best performance is when there's nothing on the signal path except wire up till the phonostage i.e. no solder joints, no din-conn... 
Turntable speed accuracy
Speed accuracy is important for me since I jam with guitar while record is playing and that's one of my ways to realize how precise the speed is. If it's faster or slower by small fraction of rpm I'll hear the difference in tunes. 
Should I try to improve speakers at $2000.00 range
...Had been long time in desire to listen to Nola Contender with powerful tube amp such as QuickSilver M90.The new price is exactly $3400 I've mentioned in the previous post. Another way is to wait to double your upgrade budget and shoot for Nola...

Bill, LOL!Try not to upset little kidz:-) say only good things just like Douglas.Not even worth to even spend time on teen conflicts! 
Watt/puppy with Quicksilver M-135 amps
M135 will rarely need service. It's a fortress and even if a tube blows, all you need to do is just replace it. Moreover tubes don't have to be matched although preferred. 
Watt/puppy with Quicksilver M-135 amps
In your situation, even if it doesn't work out with speakers I'd still keep amp or even match different speakers to this amp. 
AC Conditioner thats great for video and bass?
Well what makes you think that AC conditioner will dictate performance parameters you desire? Even if it does the magnitude will be too small no matter how large you desire to spend. For bass performance the system needs current and so I said that... 
Upgrade path the same for cables ?
I can't guarantee if you spend 10x on speakers or amp you'll get an upgrade fighedabout cables LOL!10x upgrade to house or condo certainly have much more linear relationship than audio!
