Audio Additives Stylus Force Gauge inconstantcy
Ditto what ebm said. Upon recomendation, I found a used Winds ALM 01 for $300. They are no longer made but you can find them. All the incosistancies went away. It is the best and I've tried many. 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
CD format is garbage. Extract the information off of them and stream to get the best possible sound reproduction. That being said, whether or not the LP version sounds better or worse depends on the particular recording. Most cases LP reproduction... 
Replacement Linn LP12 mat

Recommendation for Tonearm Cable
Audio Origami makes an excellent cable that sounds great and fits your budget 
Herron VTPH-1 vs Allnic H1201
I concur. I recently switched to Telefunken ECC 83's for the first and second gain stages and a Genelex GEC A2900 for the line stage on my VTPH 2. I was amazed at how the Herron is now transformed into a giant killer.  The nice thing about the Her...
