Primaluna EVO 400 vs. stock Cary SLP-05 preamp?
Good choice imo. 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
Komi64How are the Pass and J2 different and similar in sound? I have a j2 and love it. I may upgrade to Pass 60 watt monos 
I cannot say enough about the KAB Concorde STY40 combo
The Ortofon Expression was used for this marketing review from an audio store.https://www.criterionaudio.com/2019/05/22/technics-sl-1000r-vs-sl-1200g-turntable-shoot/ 
Who Has the New Top Technics SL1200GRE? Does it blow your other expensive tables away?
Am I correct you can order some VPI TT's with a Gimble Tone Arm?

I agree the SME version is interesting. I am actually surprised Technics has not re branded a Concorde cartridge to market to many of their users (both DJ and Audiophiles).

Neat to know that the original was MC. I'm surprised, with all the new general consumer TT buyers, Plug in Play cartridges has not made a comeback. I guess with so many entry-level tables delivered with cartridges installed, it may be a mute point.

Didn't Ortofon make an "audiophile/non DJ" version of the concorde back in the day?

I will probably get the 78 stylus as well for my 78's.

What is wrong with the Technics method for a Technics Turntable? 
Cartridge for Technics SL-1200/1210GR
Get this and be done with it. Sounds great on minehttps://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-VM540ML-MicroLine-Turntable-Cartridge/dp/B01MEI1RPC 
Time for a (reasonably priced) phono preamp...
I have a ELAC PPA-2 and it sounds fantastic. Much better build quality and sound vs the MOFI phono pre I had before it. 
FirstWatt J2 on its way
Well, I'm now off that kick of thinking of a new amp. I know this sounds crazy..I had my ears deep cleaned. Lots of wax. Now my system sounds perfect again with all kinds of music. I still, however, am thinking of a Mac c2700 preamp 
Anyone tried the Ortofon Concorde century Cartridge?
The Century specs above look to be quite close to the 2m Bronze.  
Question for amp experts
My Studio Yamaha active monitor sounds great with recordings. If Yamaha made tower versions, I'd be interested for a second system

Petgo60,Good points. I know many of the wireless desktop, active speakers have preamp, dacs, built in. Be a pain if you wanted to add a TT.
