Have you tried lowering the piviot end of the arm? 
opinions on favorite cartridge
There is no use at all in putting money into cartridges and table that are significantly better than the phono stage, it is a total waste of money.

I would get a better phono stage considering your investment in analogue playback.

Conrad-Johnson ET-3 pre-amp. Has anyone heard it?
I was thinking about this myself but never got a chance to hear one. From what I was able to find out from others I had about decided to go with a LS 17 when I was offered a deal on another pre that I couldn't turn down. Since it is so hard to fin... 
krell s300i power cord - is it rather small?
My friend did it after I told him PCs made a difference; his 8 watt Heathkit has a captive one. He didn't complain, just sent it back as it made him uneasy looking at the levitating CD player. I have Oyaide GPX on both my transport and DAC power s...

Best ARC Solid State power to match ARC Ref 5 Pre
"It would be nice if folks here could recommend something other than what they are currently using in their system. "Why don't we all start recommending things we have never actually heard?

To SME or not to SME?
I gave up long ago trying to get a good understanding of a components sound outside my own system. No matter what it is it will take on a different sound in each system and room; the sound you hear may not be the sound you will get. These days I t... 
Will my preamp work with MC cartridge?
40 db of gain and 47 K Ohms indicate that it is for MM cartridges. You would have to use either a SUT or a head amp.
