Of course there are many great designed tonearms today. I am not disputing that. There are also many great designed vintage tonearms as there are cartridges and tables too. Why are people going back to garrards, technics etc? Micro seikis were alm... 
Nude Turntable Project
Halcro, Raul is correct about many things. A good mm cartridge is actually very good and satisfying sounding and much easier and less fussy than a LOMC to setup. Vintage turntables and tonearms are no worse than today's great design. The Japanese ...

Very cool Halcro. Nice collection of the nicest vintage tonearms and cartridges. Pls let us know how it compares to the raven. 
do record cleaning fluids soften the treble?
Most fluids do this. I am very sensitive to this. The all roll of the highs to a certain degree. I was very frustrated and started to rince after my washes. This brings back the highs. Now, I do a double rince. Triple rince would be even better

The CU-180 is the perfect mat for an SP10mk2 and it is one of the best mats made. You're a lucky guy! 
Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths
I don't see anything wrong with the statement that the Technics trounced the walker. The Walker is sold as a complete system/package (tonearm/table) and I am sure it is a fine table. There is no other choice for table/arm combo in this case so it ... 
Problems w/ Nitty Gritty RCM?
My LPs had noise at the beginning of the first track. Try to rince with distilled water and the problem goes away. I had the NG2.5Fi and used disc doctor fluids.I thought it was the felt lips and also changed them. 
Problems w/ Nitty Gritty RCM?
What fluid are you using with the machine? I had the exact problem you had. ecords were much noisier after the wash. 
Stylus Force Gauge
EBM, so what? I was just answering the OP's question. I don't see the value of your comments and I am sure others here will agree. I have the winds arm load meter too and the shure is off by 0.1g. Still makes a good scale! 
Stylus Force Gauge
My shure is off by 0.1g. that is pretty good for an analog scale. 
Does "perfect alignment of cart" eliminate 100% ?
How old is the cartridge and was it a used one? Might be worn out prematurely due to improper setup.

Dynavector XV-1S tracking force issue
I had an old xv1 and tried the HP 2.6-2.7g tracking. There was nothing special about the sound so I dropped the vtf back to 1.9+gfrom experience the XV1s rides best between 1.95-2.1g with minimal antiskate. Almost no antiskate. I set mine approx 0.6g
