Curved and Straight Tonearms
As an owner of multiple FR tonearms including the FR66s and also have set u quite a number of FR arms for others, all I can say it is a very good Tonearm if coupled to the right cartridge. This is a very heavy Tonearm and best suited to very low c... 
Your Nominations: Top Phono Stages under $1,000
My vote goes to the PS Audio GCPH. Highly versatile and sounds really good. Own 2 of them in my second system. Running accuphase LOMC (0.2mv) with no problems at all. Best of all it has a remote, mono and phase switch.  
VPI Scout 2 vs. Luxman PD 441
Keep the Luxman. It’s a way better turntable. Maybe a new cartridge and a different tonearm would bring new life into that set up

TW Acustic Turntable Mat
I have a Raven one and I have one on order. I will post my findings as soon as I get the mat in my table. From feedback here I believe this mat will take things to the next level. 
Micro Seiki TT problem
You do not need to do this. The manual and service manual are available on vinyl engine. I have owned a few of these over the years and something is wrong with your turntable 
Micro Seiki TT problem
I've had a similar problem before. Strobe lines up but speed is way off. Pls download the service manual. I believe your strobe needs to be calibrated. You need a multimeter with a frequency range. There are test points inside the motor unit IIRC.... 
Can you believe this?
Agree with sonofjim. We have been carried away by reading too many reviews from the audio press. What you have encountered is pretty normal that's why there are many ditching their high end tables and going back to "old school". Don't get me wrong... 
Shun Mook Record Weight
Give HRS a call. The Audio Tekne weight audioblazer has for sale is quite a nice weight. The only shortcoming is the bass is a little on the leaner side of things compared to the Harmonix but does not muddle things up like the harmonix will. The H... 
Shun Mook Record Weight
The HRS analog disc is one of the better record clamps i can recommend. iMO, it does better than the original Harmonix TU812. Another clamp worth recommending is one made by Audio Tekne. Very open sounding. 
Shun Mook Record Weight
I owned the Harmonix TU812 original. Did not like what it did to the sound. The shun mook is a totally different beast. And yes, the bass digs deep. I use other gabon ebony planks and blocks in my system and if not used properly, it will suck up s... 
Shun Mook Record Weight
A shun mook is a shun mook. A fake is a fake. Just like everything else. I own one of these along with many other high end record weights/clamps. By far my favoirite in terms of music reproduction. 
Gyrodec Best Tonearm
If you can find an Alphason HR100 mcs would be a great fit for your turntable.
