Best turntable setup for under $300
Technics SL 1300, 1400,1500,1600,1700,1800 all great tables. Mk2's look nicer. All can be had within budget and sound great

Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice
All I know is the 2m Red is not in the same league as the Grace F9 Ruby. They are both light years apart. It eill take you a whole lot more $ to better the F9 ruby. 
Project Debut III or Technics 1200 MK5?
Technics 1200 easilly surpasses the Projects and rega's. Go to KAB usa site and there is a whole lot you can do and spend to make your 1200 super good sounding. 
New tonearm: wish to upgrade from DV 505

multiple TT, need 1 adjustable phono preamp

Looking for input on record clamps.
Hi Siddh, Albert is right on the money. I find many clamps suck and damp the life out of the LP. SOmetimes playing without a clamp sounds better. Try lightly tightening the clamp instead on screwing ot right down and the sound changes. Do not over... 
Dynavector XV-1S impressions?
Ecka, I own both the XV1s and the Audio Note IO2v. Yes, your description of the sound is spot on. The Audio Note has a much deeper soundstage but not as wide as the XV1s. Comparing the AN and the XV, the XV is definitely a brighter and more detail...

Dertonarm, you and syntax were saying about the Dennessen soundtraktor for alignment. Was wondering if it is the same one as the one listed on audiogon with only 1 grid???? Does it have 1 or 2 grids?TIA
