Target Audio Video Furniture Information
Audio Advisor still lists a lot of their furniture. I've found their customer support people to be very helpful when I've called with questions about any of the products they sell, 800-942-0220. 
I don't know where else to post this...so,
If you don't want to spend the money for a Littlite and you've got a place over the turntable to mount it, this lamp from IKEA works well. I've got one mounted at the top of a CD rack and it gives just the right amount of light to be able to read ... 
Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
I'd been intrigued with the Sonic Impact amp and decided to try to put together a really, really cheap system that sounded pretty good. I did, adding a used Toshiba 3950 DVD player, some new Athena monitors on closeout for $79 and some DIY cables ...
