While my wife is away on business... I used the opportunity to put a mostly vintage system in the living room. She will be so surprised! Playing some Brubeck right now. The CD player is Cambridge Audio, speakers are Usher something... need to move in my Dynaco A25's. Speaker cables are crappy zip cord, cartridge is a Shure M97xe

That TD-124 is the crown jewel of your system.....JMHO
I bought a Shure M97xe as a stopgap measure. I had been using various MC cartridges. It sounded so good on my Grace 707/ LP12 that I never bothered to upgrade. There is something about that track everything with ease sound that I find very attractive. I will be trying an ADC XLM II Improved and a JICO stylus on the Shure, but there is a lot to like about the stock Shure. What is the rest of the system? It looks like a Rega arm on the Thorens idler, but I don't recognize the integrated amp (?).

Yes, a Rega (modified) RB250 on the TD124. The integrated amp is a Bell Carillion 6060 (EL34 based). The CD players is an OPPO, the speakers are from Usher but I don't remember the model number. I've used the ADC XLM II before (on a Grace 707) and really liked it. I may have to dig it out of the garage and give it another try.
I think the JICO will work on an XLM, ZLM and VLM. It is well liked on the Vinyl Asylum if you need a new needle. I am very fond of the Grace. It is a very nice low mass arm. I like a cartridge arm combination that will track anything that you can throw at it.

And the TT is what?
Looks a lot like the Thorens TD 124 sitting on my equipment cabinet.

Sitting on a plinth made of 4 sheets of 1/2" baltic birch, surrounded by MDF, on a book shelf that wraps around my fireplace. The shelf is the weak link!
