You know its serious when you read, "with a silver face plate." 
If You Had the $$$ to Piece Together Your Dream System What Would It Consist Of?
My dream system? The Burmester. In a GT3RS. 
CAN YOU OVERPOWER A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
It sounds like all they really do then is conduct electricity.Huh. Imagine that. 
I wonder why......
Silly question. The stock factory power cords are there so when you sell you can keep the good one you bought and the other guy still has something to plug it in with. Duh. 
Hifi or no Hifi that is the question
No idea. Just always have. Since like grade school, before ever even hearing a stereo, which my parents never had, at least not until we grew up enough to go out and buy one for them. In 3rd grade a symphony violinist came in and played for us rig... 
Home theater help from scratch 5.2 25k budget

Best Record Cleaning Fluid
My favorite record cleaning fluid is Scuttlebutt Tripel 7. One bottle usually is enough to reveal those records were clean enough already, and sound better than ever. Just whatever you do be sure not to get any on your actual, you know, records. 
Turntable leveling
My question is after doing all that will I still have time and energy to play and listen? I got all tuckered out just reading the list. This is something you have to do every time, right? I mean, level depends on gravity, which with the moon.... 
Glass or MDF Shelves
MDF isn't great but is very benign in terms of not contributing anything particularly objectionable. Glass on the other hand isn't great either but is very hard and not very well damped at least if it is plate or tempered as opposed to laminated. ...
