Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album?
Elvis Costello-My Aim is True. 
Great bass from a linear tracking arm?
I get plenty of quality bass through my vintage LT-30 and Grado Sonata. 
dedicated outlet cost
Two dedicated lines from the breaker box cost me about $350. Two Furtech FP15 Cu's are about $40 each from Cryoparts. 
Analogue Synergy....Which is the best Cartridge?
When I was usimg a Basik Plus arm, a Shure V15VxMR matched very nicely. It sounded good too. 
Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp
Dave Wilson builds speakers, useless support for your argument. Linn builds them all and Igor says source first. I'm with Newbee.

My Proton AD 430 has been in use off/on for about 15-20 years. It doesn't have auto reverse though.

Which interconnect from tonearm?
I feel VDH makes very good cables for tonearms. I used an Integration on my LP12 with terrific results. Now, I have a TT with rcas to the phono stage and use Vampire Wire AI-II I/C's. These are coninuous cast copper, sounding smooth and neutral. 
Little red gun next to turntable.
Mine's a Glock, painted red. It's to keep unathorized people from touching my turntable. Oh, wait...yeah, yeah it's a Zerostat. ;) 
What to do with dedicated power lines..help please
I just did the same thing a few weeks ago. Here's what I did. First, I upgraded the outlets more (I already had upgraded to some Pass & Seymours). After much research, I decided on Furutech FP-15's. Oyaide has lots of fans as do Porters, Hubbe... 
Subwoofer cable???
I use a MAS Gray silver I/C.
