Long Cables w/Short Speaker Cable or Vice Versa?
All things being equal, it is MUCH better to have your high-level signal (Speaker wires) runs longer than your low level signal (Interconnect). It is not an opinion, it is simple physics. 
Long Cables w/Short Speaker Cable or Vice Versa?
shortest possible interconnects, just because they send lower level signals which can be more prone to interference and such.Depending on the speaker load if its an easy one to drive then most times longer cable is best. 
Long Cables w/Short Speaker Cable or Vice Versa?
(B) Short Interconnects with a Long Speaker Cable run? I would consider this option. 
CD player vibration from CD's
leatherneck why not do what i do with warped CDs. I put it under enormous amounts of heat and pressure. These conditions will form diamonds naturally.

Well Tempered Turntable Specifications
May I ask why you really need those specs? The tables are great at retrival and can't see you going wrong with either model. I would ad, if your going for the reference? Then look for the Amadeus.

Speaker Cable Requirements 1 Ohm Load
A long run of cable use a heavy 10 AWG wire..to be safe. With shorter runs at 2ohm load I would say you could go with a 12AWG or even a 14 and be safe...my opinion only and sure many will think different.
