Is it possible to mount cartridge without using a protractor?
Yes. 
Opinions Please - Which Turntable Rack is Better
Is the rack between the speakers? If so, the larger one will further impact negatively imaging.  
Yanni or Laurel?
Can this be included on a test LP? 
Jelco TK-850L review
Listened for another 15 hours. The clasp is annoying. I have to lock it every time I rest it. The bearings are VERY free moving. One tiny touch and off it goes so be careful. I do not use anti-skating on 12" arms.I'm not sure why but with the same... 
RECORDS THAT HAVE IMPRESSED PEOPLE SO MUCH THEY BOUGHT MY STEREO
Dug out Talk Talk ’The Colour of Spring’.Bought it when it came out in the 80s. Great studio analog recording and a seminal album of the New Romantic genre. Sounds better than ever. Great percussion and bass. 
I need a good arm to mate with a modified Lenco L75
@vpi Not clear above but which table is better? 
Happy with digital, but thinking about vinyl--looking for system specific recommendations
OP, this is an excellent table with great arm and will beat out all those Regas and MDF decks.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8ig47-gem-polytable-with-10-jelco-sa-750e-tonearm-new-turntables You could look at the Pioneer PLX 1000 --gets great...

Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound?
I read your post and came to the same conclusion that seems apparent to everyone.  
New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000
Good for him, cashing in on the ever increasing number of rich folks who'd rather buy this than give their employees a pay raise. 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
The EAR uses tubes for MM and step up transformers (SUT) internally for MC. The GNs use solid state which might be the way to go if you are good with no tubes. Dunno what MC you intend running but at this price level, you might be best served usin...

The least expensive option may not give you what you want. You could look out for a used vintage table like a Thorens 160 or up your budget to a Rega 3 etc. I have a few Croft amps including a 25R. I would strongly recommend swapping out the stock... 
Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound?
So, you've tried everything. Looks like it is a dark sounding cartridge.

@vpi So ... the 301 or the VPI?
