Boron Cantilever and Ruby Cantilever, Why Ruby?
Not sure if it is Shelter or Zyx - but one of the highest models choose an aluminium cantilever over a boron one on the basis that given the other design parameters it is the better material. I don't think that it's as simple as just one item alone.

Tonearms: Ripoff?
@madavid0when you wrote:"The isn’t whether I want to spend a lot of money on high end tonearms or not, the issue is if they are a ripoff or not. Do they offer audio performance above cheaper ones? This is NOT hard to understand.So far there is ONE...

Best MM?

Jico V LP Gear or any other replacement stylus
@invictus005 I think you mis-read my post. The cartridge I mentioned is no longer manufactured - hence an original is a highly unlikely option - hence the original question

Nordost tyr - townshend - try audience as they make cables depending on cartridge output 
Amazon Reference w/Moerch Tonearm any reviews?
I happen to have the Model One with a DP6 arm. I think it is a great sounding deck - exceptionally low noise floor - so it becomes exceptionally dynamic and revealing. It's weakness is that when there are very busy musical passages I am convinced ...
