LP Vinyl: Quality, Pressing, Label, Weight, Where to Buy ???
I had the same bad experience with Amazon, "sealed" records with scratches. Never buy from them again   
Room Setup .... REW .... Umik-1 ......Advice Please
I would keep the bass traps out until you have everything as flat as you can/like, then add the traps and place then where you need them to finetune your setup. Otherwise you will be fixing the traps signature as an add on to your system and you d... 
Speaker shootout question -- do you position the same or differently, depending?
I have had the opportunity to hire and observe real sound engineers to work the acoustics in my rooms and I have learned a few things from them. It does not matter how good your ears are, mine a pretty good around19Hz and 21kHz in my last hearing ...

Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components
This is the result of adding the Podiums to the speakers, the Nobsound to the subs, getting the room modes as mitigated as possible. I had to get the crossover a little lower and increase the volume on the subs, which increased the energy in the r... 
Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components

Room Treaments - Where To Begin...
Here is the before and after, as you can see the bass was way too loud. Look at the dip between 200Hz and ~350Hz.  Some could argue that I need more energy from 300Hz down, I will try new tubes to lower the brightness  and see what the tubes do
