Which integrated tube amp to go with which speaker
Personally, I would go with the Luxman and the Harbeths, especially if you play a lot of vinyl. 
Retipping Miyajima mono cartridge
Probably of no concern to the OP but a line contact stylus can damage records pressed on styrene. Many mono LPs and 45s from the 50s and 60s are styrene. I would rather have an "all rounder" conical, personally. 
best recorded 78rpm to look for, also cartridge...
One of the best periods for 78s is 1928 to 1934. Especially OKeh, Columbia and some Victors. After that, records got cheaper and quality went down. Look out for the Blue Wax Columbias! It is worth investing in a good stylus for 78s. With a little ... 
What is your preference, Records or CDs?
I never understood the attraction of CDs. They only have the music on one side. How is that any improvement over an LP?Seriously, vinyl is an archival medium. A century from now, you will still be able to play a record. (If you live that long!) Do...

Just how good is the Technics SL-1200?
Elizabeth: Nine responses, not one from a "fan boy" stating the Technics SL-1200 is the second coming. I find your patronizing attitude rather arrogant. I own a KAB modified one. I am a record collector and for my needs it is an excellent table. I... 
Morrow IC
I bought the Morrow 1.1 which is the next step up. They greatly improved the sound of my system. They do take over a week to burn in though. 
Mod 1200MkII or Buy Rega RP6? or MMF-7 Package
I would go with the Technics mods.
