ghemrock, The concept MC cartridge has a 2.0 tracking force. It's also a great sounding cartridge. As far as the set-up is concerned. Have you tried it without the pillow? I would try to get rid of that & make the stand that holds the maple slabs more robust. Also, I'm not sure how much work you want to put into it, but you could look at bracing the heck out of the floor under & around the stand itself. All of that should help focus & sound stage greatly.
