Foghat - Foghat (Bearsville 1972)Forgot how good these guys were (are). 
Moving coil VS moving magnet/iron
Agreed. Look at better phono amp and stay with the cartridges you have for the moment. 
Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ?
I’m in a concrete basement for a reason. It sounds better. Agree on 24" paving slabs. I don’t agree about mounting the speakers on Sorbothane though. It will allow the speakers to move slightly causing smearing. You could try adding mass with 2 sl...

+ mijostynWasn't long before it got political. This is fact and every time we vote for one side, the worse it will get.

Leonard Cohen - Dear HeatherBought this when it came out and just realised I've never played it before. Nice recording and quiet vinyl.

Judy Roderick ‎– Woman Blue ‎(Vangard 1965)Wonderful America country blues which sounds as fresh today as it did 55 years ago. Sadly died at 50 because only the good die young.  
Is there a physical and ritual connection with the analog LP?
Almost.  
Upgrade phono stage?
Nice system. Have you rolled the tubes? A pair of Telefunkens will bring new life to the phono amp. Then the ECC82 line amp tube. Also try them without the shields on.You could try a sale or return Schiit Mani phono from Amazon for $149 into the A... 
replacing tonearm question?
That is not what I said or implied. Some false equivalence in your example. My argument is that at 25mg, the amount of friction ceases to be a primary concern. Stability and control of resonance is also important. It should also be noted that thes... 
replacing tonearm question?
@best-groove  In much the same way a 1% THD tube amp sounds better than a 0.05% THD solid state amp, the friction measurements are so low as to not matter. What does matter is how it sounds. The Jelco 850 is radically different from the other gimb...
