Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs?
I had noise issues with vinyl back in the 70, 80, 90s. I was using a Linn Sondek, with an SME tonearm and a mid-level moving magnet cartridge along with a Conrad Johnson PV1 pre-amp. Noise was so discouraging, I embraced CD/SACD with an Esoteric P...

Good arms for catridge swappers
I highly recommend Moerch / Morch UP4 or DP6 tonearms. You can have multiple, easily replaced armwands for each cartridge you have. You can also use the appropriate armwand weight to get the best sound out of your cartridge. 
Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby?

It all depends on who you use. I'd check out ‘Expert Stylus Company’ They have a stellar reputation and appear to be the most trusted name in examination, repair and overhaul of high end cartridges.
