End to All Power Problems
Hate to be the wet blanket but the way I see it happening is.. All those people at the power companies are out of a job and because we have very little manufacturing left in this country the power cells are made in China. Oh ya, the power used to ... 
Technics SL-1200 Mk II; opinions??
It sounds like a great deal. The 1200 is a rock solid performer. Don't let the disco tag fool ya. It entered production in 1972, well before disco came along.

Should Equalizers make a comeback?
Kr4, I stand corrected. I've tuned my system to better perform in my bright room. 
Should Equalizers make a comeback?
Yes! I use the EQ in iTunes(mac mini server & dac)and it's got me thinking about buying one. My room is bright. I've used the eq to tune the room. A good equalizer will be cheaper than acoustic treatments, even if I make them myself. 
Want to try Analog :
You will get lots advise on Turntables. The big three will be Rega, Project and Technics. All good. A good phono pre-amp is all important. I use to have Musical Fidelity X-LPS v3 phono preamp before getting a full function pre-amp. I would have sa...
