Speaker cable lifters.
The OP has a high level system in what looks to be a challenging space. Are room acoustics- damping/diffusion fully addressed? The ceiling/speaker arraignment has to be affecting overall SQ? Leaning forward and eye squinting will probably have t... 
Perfect song for vinyl
UK period U.K.period press+ S.O.T.A. rig- I get up, I get down... Religious experience.  
Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono Pre needs repair
"Fosgate is defunct?  What about all those Fozgometers" Still on the MS site,so perhaps the Fozgometer brand name is being kept alive?      
Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono Pre needs repair
MS contracted a company somewhere on the east coast. I had my V.2 repaired for the right channel. It was linked to the subpar assembly/build QC.  Mine is 10 years old. Still playing, but now has a wonky right toggle switch(gain) I demoed the Fo... 
Watermelon test for audiophiles!
Tap test is flawed. As indicated by the diagram, I go weight(density) and the "field spot" No field spot suggests picked too early. Even then, mother nature still makes a dud now and then. Eat better tasting watermelon, and you can hear the SQ... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
Just about 10 days have passed since this thread started. Nothing has been established-just as expected. Littlefuse=couple of bucks for a handful Audiophool fuse= MANY dollars for 1 SQ end result-whatever your brain convinces the ears.  
Jeff Beck, Blues De Luxe
Without Rod Stewart-does a version even exist? I always thought the psuedo "live" recordings were odd-like what's on the Truth  album. The only "other" version that comes up in Google search is an actual "live" version which is much better than... 
Upgrading My Vinyl Set Up
PL HP user here. The Sopra 2 can sound great driven by it-subjective, of course. The same setup by another set of ears will be heard differently. You will also get responses the Sopra’s should be driven by "X" SS/tube amp, and "X" brand cable. ... 
Old stock power cords and SMTPs
What's the prize for guessing what SMTP is? One of the OP's stock power cords?  
Power conditioners and power regeneration
"Only other way to have ultra clean power is condition from the pole to your meter, which I’m not going there." I'd be thinking the same way only IF at the very least a dedicated outlet is already in play. I use BOTH.  
Power conditioners and power regeneration
Like most things audio-yes, no and maybe. Demo is the only way to find out. PP user here.  
Mono record sounds like stereo
A well recorded mono LP is an attention getter. Period press of straight ahead Jazz on Contemporary, World Pacific and Riverside are a few of the other labels that do the magic.      
RIP Tom Jones
Good grief! I clearly mixed up reading/comprehending what I read! Nevermind. I'll crawl back into my hole now  
Tuning your tubes
"Tuning tubes" What note do we use as reference? I'll try C# and report back.  
Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion?
If all adjustable parameters are good,your own ears do the final sign off. Every listener at a show/demo room will not agree a SOTA rig sounds amazing. It looks like your perception is tainted however. Time for another cartridge upgrade.
