SME 20/2 Tonearm Ground Wire: Where in the table should be connected?
The ground wire at the RCA end should be connected at the grounding post on your phonostage.

No need in my experience. Find a few soft cover books or fold a towel on top of a hard cover book to protect the plinth from scratching and lift the front of the table put the books under the front high enough to unthread the side you want.

You must remove the bottom corresponding section that holds the footer,  then the top section will unthread from the plinth.    
emt 950, technics sp10 - direct drive sound
There are a couple "new" TSD cartridges with more radical styli instead of the SFL.  You also have a higher option with the Novel.  I have an 80th Anniversary with a sapphire cantilever and a MR HP which I believe stands for micro-ridge high polis...

I am curious too,  but the price may be more impressive than its performance. https://www.emt-tontechnik.ch/electronics/EMT-STX-5-10  
SME 20/2 Spindle/bearing

Woodsong Garrard 301, Artisan Fidelity 301, Shindo 301, SME 301, or etc.?
No Garrard's for me, but I certainly recognize the appeal.  I have a few friends that own different versions of the 301,  Some with mild mods some extreme, such as CTC chassis, brass platter and big bearing, in a custom plinth with motor controlle... 
Woodsong Garrard 301, Artisan Fidelity 301, Shindo 301, SME 301, or etc.?
I think with your question we must distinguish  the differences between "restorers" and one who modifies to potentially make better.  Do all those fall into the same category?Woodsong appears to offer plinths and I don't know if he does anything t... 
EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history.
Anyone hear the new 80th Anniversary cartridges?  Sapphire cantilever and silver coil.  A big departure from the traditional TSD.https://www.emt-tontechnik.ch/files/productfile/Specs-TSD-Anniversary.pdfhttps://www.emt-tontechnik.ch/files/productfi...
