Step down transformers detrimental to SQ?
not sure about effect on SQ but would assume no problem unless in too close proximity to other transformer.......and would you not need a step UP transformer here with a 100V amplfier? 
TT set up
I would not trust myself to set tracking angles; I would hope the dealer would do it for me. Floating the arm and setting tracking force is the extent of my confidence   
Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests
Do the discussions devolve or do they evolve? I suspect what happens to them is alternating versions of osmosis and capillary action, each in inverse intensity and magnitude to the other. But I could be wrong. 
Stroboscopic disk sets wrong speed for turntable?

Nah, I think the concept stated in the OP is due mostly to a lot of folks just think they know more than they do. Don Rumsfeld came close to grasping the fundamentals of this in his theory of "known knowns" and "unknown knowns." It hurts your head...

six months later I will introduce a reverse thread adapter that will enhance the original bulb by several orders of magnitude Dilly Dilly

I will come out with the reverse threaded light bulb and stomp to a feverish beat about how great it is......but nobody will be able to use it in their existing sockets. I will blame them for this. 
Speaker Width?
Mine are about six feet apart center to center, about two feet from rear wall, listening at about nine feet from speakers, cabinets tilted so that I cannot see either side of the cabinet at listening position. It works for me. Plus nobody else is ... 
Chicago stereo shop recommendations
Music Direct; they have things from entry to esoteric 
Going linear - The Luxman 507ux
