What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V?
Viv Labs Rigid Float 7". Have heard this against SME V, Kuzma 4Point 9" and Kuzma 313 Reference and it stomped all over them musical, dynamic and engaging and dead easy to set up.  
Preamp with two volume controls?
Audio Note UK preamps.  
Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED)
KRELL KSA 50 or KSA 100, both fantastically musical amps, and when funds permit an Audio Research pre an SP9 or LS2B. I know they are old uns but are good uns, maybe not as detailed as later models but more engaging and less Hifi sounding.

SME 3009 S2 Improved Tonearm problem...possibly
I agree with @dover re feedback coming the turntable, I had the exactly the same problem as you described and had to put turntable on a floor standing rack instead of wall mounted. General rule for cartridges is low compliance cartridge use a hig... 
Does dose anyone see these speakers in real?
@souljasmooth you are correct they are bog standard Tannoy Dual Concentrics. My friend had a pair of Hart speakers (not these obviously) for a while. They always sounded honky in the midrange and bass was very dry, not my cup of tea at all.  
Which arms share the Rega Geometry?
