Try Rega Aethos?  
Is Imaging Worth Chasing?
Speaker placement is huge. Are your speakers on stands and is the center of the tweeter approximately ear level when you’re sitting? This is important.    Also isolating from vibration - clarity is key to getting imaging and vibration causes di... 
Low level listening
What amp or integrated are you using - I think this makes a big difference to clarity/information at lower volumes. additionally would recommend the Schitt Loki EQ to make your own boosted curve for lower level listening - works amazingly well. ... 
Integrated amp recommendation
Used for $1500 you can go higher up the Rega line to a Elex-r or Elicit-r. Highly recommend both.

I do use an AT SS445E/U high-end NOS cart with original Nude 0.3mil elliptical stylus. I feel like I’d have to spend a bit to get better performance, no?   https://www.vinylengine.com/ve_downloads/index.php?audio_technica/audio_technica_ss315e_3... 
Turntable channel imbalance
Hi @joenies its very noticeable on some records, maybe more than 3 db. No imbalance with other sources. CDs have perfect centered imaging. I primarily listen to CDs and streaming. Vinyl is fun nostalgia for me. But some records sound so off I just...

Thanks y’all.    I don’t think it’s the pre. It’s been the case across multiple phono pre amps. (Inbuilt on 2 integrateds + the Rega Fono)   Will triple check the level and RCA inputs. It’s strange to me that it’s more present on certain LPs but...

@fuzztone using a Rega Fono MM pre - just on/off. So am I out of luck? Is this the table or the cart?

Thank you. Is anti-skate adjustment available on a p-mount deck?  I don’t see instructions for it in the manual. Thanks!

Please recommend speakers
@expresstrain That’s good info. When folks talk about space from the wall they measure from the front of the speaker. So if you pull them out a smidge or so you should have 20”-24” if I’m understanding you correctly.    Will the shelf you use hav...
