building the best system I can?
Speakers sound like the amps runing them, get a 25watt Decware tube if acoustic is main thing,if tubes are too big a hassle, whatever Belles amp you can fit in. 
Why do I like the Denon 103r so much?
I've used various 103's for 20 years,primarily because they sound much more like the classical live concerts I attend 5-6 times a month, than the expensive carts people buy to listen to processed rock with. 
Decent entry level turntable?
Yes Denon is set it, forget it.Forget the music as well. 
Decent power cord for Belles 150A
Thanks fellas, I'll order a signal cable. 
Decent power cord for Belles 150A
Strange, I had the MAC Burley on it , sounded bad, swapped it out for a ZU Birth which is much better but bass shy. 
Spikes or other on carpet for maple blocks
Beats me, every speaker I ever heard spiked to concrete sounded bad. YMMV 
Decent entry level turntable?
A Rega, any Rega -sounds MUCH better than a Denon 47F, been there, done that. 103 is good on Regas as is the cheaper 110 . 
Beautiful Vocals...
You fools are to young to remember the greatest singer who was drop-dead beautiful !JULIE LONDON 
Zu Cable Libtec: Opinions/Comparisons
I have Libtecs SC with Wylde ic's on my Maggy MMG, Belles 150a, Curcio modded PAS 3 system.Heard many 50K plus sydtems not sound as good. 
Is an Apt preamp a good preamp for my setup.
So old its bound to be widely out of spec, if you do buy it , hook only to some speahers you can live without. Been there, done that. 
Care to put these in order? KEF JBL B&W Soliloquy
1-5 + KEF 
Need speaker for a small space and close to wall
Rega 1 or 3 best pony for that course. 
REGA RS5... any owner?
I have RS 3's in a room slightly smaller and it's a very natural sounding sound with a realistic presentation.As a former audio salesman I's say they would be hard to sell in a store for just that reason, most folks are used to a "HI-FI" sound and... 
Which speakers should I get. $500-$1000
To each his own, I suppose if you are rich enough you can make a silk purse from a sows ear. 
Is naim and B&W a good match?
If you only listen to heavy metal, since both have a hardish sound be rough on much else.
