MONO cartridges
Great. Thank you, too. 
MONO cartridges
Thanks, I will think about it, the Arm for it would be Fr-64s. I saw the Denon, would be enough for a start I guess. 2 years ago I listened to a Shelter 501 mono, was a good performance.Are the differences in mono cartridges similar to those stere... 
Are more turntable motors better?
yes, probably too much rubber from inferior quality can decrease sound quality. To minimize the contact area will help =)To move it away from the platter via more motors has a lot of advantages, more money for the manufacturer and better sound.But... 
Are more turntable motors better?
More is better (for the Seller) =)in Reality:there are only 2 kind of motors out there-good ones which do the job right-and the bad ones (they compensate each other, but it looks serious =)) 
Clearaudio RCM good alternative to VPI?
Cleaning result is identical, but the Clearaudio is not so loud. 
Tri-planar vs Graham
UUUps, I was too fast with sending, correction:I prefer the Phantom....but the Graham is a better performer with more cartridges in general.... 
Tri-planar vs Graham
GI would for the Phantom. The Tri-Planar is way too expensive for it's - limited - performance in comparison. With carts below 10gr and a soft compliance it is fine but with the Graham is a better performer with more cartridges in general.the VII ...

SME 20/2 sound problem. Remedy suggestions needed

phono pre amp choices?

Best cartridge for Well Tempered and Dartzeel pre?
Hello Elescher,probably you should ask Lukaschek (owner of Benz), he offers retip Service. From what I heard, he is very fair in pricing. 
Best cartridge for Well Tempered and Dartzeel pre?
When I had a WT, I used it with Benz Ruby and Lyra Lydian. It was a good match. At the moment I use a Lyra Helikon and this is a very good cartridge. I would prefer it to the 2 above. Very good detail, deep soundstage, no compression and a lively ...

Choice of Koetsu cartridges?
If I was to make the choice of a Koetsu, which would you go for?Koetsu Black 
Graham 2.2 vs. Fidelity Research FR64S
Well, I use for Lyras the FR-64s. It may be, from calculation the Data fit better to the 2.2., but this is not everything (Arm tube material, bearing quality etc.).I had the 2.2 and tried it with a lot of cartridges, Phantom too...The "termination...
