You mean someone buys this stuff?
There was an earlier larger version of the sit and spin turntable used in a movie, but as I recall the spinner was in a French Maid outfit and the "spindle" was a lot bigger. In the end, I would have to say it was better than this one. Which end, ... 
Any real difference in RCA cables quality for sub?
A line level cable, analog out to pre/receiver, will allow you to hear differences in conductors, shielding, and connectors. I have repurposed four fairly expensive Spdif cables at this spot, each cable had their own individual sound characteristi... 
Considering an integrated
@millercarbon -- Sure I'm comparing my just-declared-obsolete Mytek Brooklyn Bridge's moving coil input with a so-old-they've-discovered-them-in-cave-dwellings Moon LP3 dedicated phono stage, but the Mytek makes the Moon come off as tubby, dead an...

How much reality do you really need?
Rockefeller. 
Arrangement of components on rack
Thanks. I spy Nobsound. The good news, lots of low hanging fruit. Turntable on top of stack, top of the list. But, there is like one mini monitor, two big floor standers, and where do you listen?
