Speaker cable suggestion for new system
Look at Dimarzio cables. Also consider buying used; people are always selling their cables and they are so much cheaper. 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
Vladimir Horowitz, who ever told him he could play piano?!(just kidding) :) 
Smallest Amp To Use for Laptop System
You might check out the cmoy amps. Chu Moy put his design in the public domain, so several people on ebay, etc. sell them, often in mint tins for around $50. Talk to them about your specific needs. 
whistling in the ears

Tonearm relative to Plinth alignment
The only relevant parameter in locating the tonearm on the plinth, is the distance from spindle-center to tonearm-center. At the correct distance, the tonearm can be located anywhere around spindle. If the tonearm is not parallel with the edge of ... 
What Record Clamp for LP12?
J.A. Michell clamp was the lightest I identified. One problem is that you will likely need to stop your table each time you change LP sides--unless you don't mind adding ALOT of rotational torgue at each record flip. I finally decided not to buy/u... 
Should I replace my LP12?
There is a new Linn platter currently being auctioned on ebay with a buy-it-now option of $380. I, too, would keep your turntable. You can radically change its sound, it you want a change, by changing cartridges.
