If you haven't done so, take a look at the schematic for both the Heathkit wap2 and the Fisher 50-C (RIAA version). Sans the loudness circuit and having an AC filament supply, the Heathkit is identical to the venerable 50-C.
I found that the quality of the Heathkit is good w/ the default W5M supplying B+ & heater but sounds fantastic with a dedicated power supply. Compared to my 50-C, there's nothing embarrassing about the Heahtkit mono preamp aside from being most hideous looking component I've ever seen. :-)
The focus and intensity you mentioned is a coherence that can be further achieved and refined with a dedicated mono cart but don't overlook the importance of a proper (massive) tonearm too for compliance.
Have you read this blog on mono hifi yet?
