Hi- The second one is Sulcorebutia rauschii, which I only know from being an avid reader here.
The others are perhaps all also from South America, and the folks here will tag them.

Hi
other gymno is stenopleurum, tho u usually see it as mihonovichii.. If pink flwers then fredrichii.
Last 2 are probably lobivias, maybe aurea???? and and winteriana, not very sure on either. Mike

4 could be one of many lobivias, maybe pentlandii
5 is almost certainly Echinopsis kermesina, now merged under E. mammilosa.
EDIT: spelling should be mamillosa

I'd go with Mike's suggestion of Lobivia aruea.
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
