What to upgrade if at all
Roscoeiii said,"IIRC, that Allnic phono stage has the Allnic SUTs internally already. Just read a great review of it at Dagogo." Great! He's halfway there. It would be a shame not to try that combination. 
What to upgrade if at all
I see you have an Allnic phonostage. Well, Allnic has a fantastic cartridge out now. They also have stepup transformers that are wonderful with it, from all reports that I've heard. 
Stable 12V DC power supply
I believe you could spend the same $38 and get a battery that powers one of those plastic kiddie cars. It would be a lot heftier than a laptop battery for certain, and they are 12V. Also, they sell them everywhere they sell toys. I would suggest b... 
MC Cartridge suspension
My bet is that it will work just fine. 
Phono interconnect under $500 used
Used ones don't come up very often, but Tel-Wire makes very good interconnects. 
Brinkmann TT with an SME arm - any experiences?
Syntax is right, of course. Still, there are combinations to be tried to find a flavor you like. If it wasn't so, everything would sound the same, right? :) 
TT stopping in midstream of playback? Perplexed.
Are you able to push the platter a bit to get it going again when it stops? 
After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier
Ct0517,Unfortunately, the requirements for various motors is so vastly different that a one-size-fits-all solution is beyond the realm of possibility. Any controller with that claim would be a hoax. In the best case, it wouldn't be a very elegant ... 
After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier
Thekong,I can pull it off, but I'm not sure I want to. It would be very expensive, but very good. At least, I believe it would. I wouldn't hazard a guess as the exact price because everything I do seems to make its way into the stratosphere these ... 
Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR
I have all owned all three (sold the Shure), and I prefer the 8MZ with some source material. Otherwise, the Sonata is the winner for me, too. 
After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier
Maril555,Let's take that one more step. Does a market exist for a truly high-end controller/motor/belt combination that would fit a variety of belt drive turntables? 
Brinkmann TT with an SME arm - any experiences?
Possibly, but you really should give the turntable a listen with Brinkman's tonearm. It is a very good system. 
Where can i find an Aurum Beta S replac. stylus?
Manitunc is right; it's easy. In fact, it is so easy that it will be self-explanatory once you have the assembly in your hands. It's also self-aligning, so there is no need to worry about precision beyond the concerns you would have with a standar...

Hi,I don't know about Redpoint, but Thom at Galibier has been away on family business. He will return shortly. 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
Richard,Regarding R&D for my turntable, it is expensive. In fact, it is so expensive that I will probably never recover the costs. The time I tossed $1500 worth of spindles into a trash barrel comes to mind, as does the seemingly endless contr...
