Just remember the Empire has an eliptical stylus. 
Technics SL-1200MKII and AT-440MLa, very good
The TT will not need break-in, but the cables will. Also, make sure the bearing has oil all the way to the top. Even though the manual states oiling should be done every 2000 hrs, there is a BIG sonic difference when the bearing is completely full... 
Getting into Vinyl...
Even an entry level table will sound better than a CDNot in my modded 1200 rig, and according to someone I trust, not even with a Walker Proscenium. The mastering quality is what determines whether a vinyl record or its CD version will sound bette... 
Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable
I'm baffled... 
Getting into Vinyl...
A this point I think I am leaning towards the Black Cube with the larger power supply, I will start there and move ahead with the table, or vice versa. Seems like the phono is the more important piece, although we know better as philes. It's all a...

I don't know the story, neither do you. THAT was my point.I *do* know the story. Like Jejune, I will not comment any further on this topic.*** 
DJ Cartridges - have you tried it?
Elizabeth, you need to go to a REAL discotheque with five way amplification* and shake your money maker! You'll find out DJ cartridges are not bad at all. Although they use three grams (and up) tracking force, their 12" singles are better made and... 
DJ Cartridges - have you tried it?
I have a KAB modded Stanton Trackmaster. It is an integrated headshell cartridge w/ a NOS Stereohedron stylus. It's a big reality check as to what makes up a cartridge. This thing is superb and has the midrange of a $1500 moving coil. 
Budget Power Cords For Tube Mono Amps ?
How about that 2 ga MILSPEC silver plated copper, Teflon insulated, shielded cable? What is it, two dollars a foot?Now we're talking.*** 
Record Cleaning Machine Fluid
