Nagra VPS
Come on Raul, say it the way it is: the Nagra is a overpriced metal box with lots of air in it. :) 
Amps that sounds similar or close to Lamm hybrids
Lamm is unique. 
New phono preamp or tonearm?
The preamp (line or phono) is in my opinion the heart and brain from each System. There is no other component in the whole System where you can loose so much information (or win).The Tonearm is not that important (in this comparison). When "forced... 
Which Record Cleaning Machine?
I think, when he wants to show it to his customers, he should go for a silent one ---> Loricraft.I knew some dealers who offered a cleaning service, they had a VPI 17, a good unit too.

which cartridge is good for Well Tempered ref TT
I agree with Donaudio, when I did use the WTT I tried a few cartridges, but my love was a naked Benz Ruby.I think, today I would try a Skala/Titan 
Dynavector cartridge upgrade decision
The problem with the Tonearms is, you will always know it better later (unfortunately). I have a few and made all the comparisons and indeed, the differences with a cartridge can be small, but it can can be huge too.It depends on the weight of the...

Micro Seiki RX 5000
In the platter are 2 holes for screws. Insert them, connect them to something like a grip and then you can lift the platter in 1 move. 
JC Verdier VS Micro Seiki
