Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1
I have problems to believe that a company like Ortofon delivers "faulty" cartridges. I guess the "problem" has nothing to do with them.

I used to read them 20 years ago for serious consideratio, then 10 years ago for humor, and now I do not even find any humor in them...May I help you?When you read this (it means that)The Audio AdventureIn spite of the measurement anomalies, this ... 
Goldmund Reference Turntable ?
The turntable itself shows a deep and wide soundstage. This was done right from Goldmund. This compensates the weakness from the T3F. It has nothing to do with adjusting the arm, this Design is superb example for super engineering which fails the ... 
Pass Labs Xono vs. Aesthetix Rhea
Pass Xono+ silent, good gain, reliable- sounds sterile, thin and analytic, far away from the real thingAesthetix+ multiple Phono Inputs, Remote, lots of settings and gains- in higher gain the noise is too strong, lacks detail 
Goldmund Reference Turntable ?
The T3F Arm is always in movement, from the right side-to the middle-to the left side. The result is a smeared soundstage. T and inferior dynamic range. To find the right cartridge is a real task because the side force will destroy the cantilever.... 
Cartridge Output Level Question

Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes

STP distance. Is it critical ?
Yes, it is critical. When you want to have the specs from the manufacturer to get the best result of this calculated Arm. Some Arms work also with differences (Loefgren and Baerwald are not the only valid datas), but then you need a different alig... 
TriPlanar Tips
Dougs recommendation to "improve" the Triplanar are spot on. It is a good design from scratch which survived a long time. But honestly, the main problem from the Triplanar is, it has no weight. It looks solid, but it isn't. This is the main reason... 
I'll never listen to another record...
In the last 3 years these RCM's started to move on the fast lane. I remember well, not so much was here, even at Audiogon. Same with fluids btw. Of course, some had a VPI unit, but more or less owning a RCM (one of the more expensive ones) was a b...
