How much “suspension of disbelief do you need?”
Big difference between live and studio recordings. Most recordings were not mastered to sound live. More likely to sell, for a car, jukebox, boom box, Echo etc. The recording industry started off mono which could NEVER sound live unless you lost ... 
Has anyone noticed Qobuz sounding a little fatter in the right channel?
Sounds like a DAC problem. Try Pink and Inharmonic Noise into whatever meter/leds you got. Probably impossible to find a tech that can balance it.  I sent my second R2R (Panasonic) to the factory service for that in the 60's. A month later came b... 
Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions!
1. Don’t know yours but my platter is so heavy I wrecked the belt within a year. I got a reflex clamp and give it a twist before powering up. Still on the second one 35 years later. Belts are cheap. 2 now are less $$ than 1 then. 2. LP pressing q... 
Replacement DAC with USB in, XLR outs
All Denafrips to my knowledge do that. Pick your poison. No remote so I wouldn’t want one personally. I'd prefer a RME AD12.  
Hum/buzz from VM740ML cartridge
Sorry, foreign to me. As an aside, why digitize vinyl?  2 wrongs don't make a right. I used to do it before lossless streaming. Now if it's not available that is a good excuse to cue it up.  
Never Spend More On Cables Than Your Equipment Cost$$$$$$$$$$
More?  
For lovers of the 1961 West Side Story soundtrack lp.
For sure tablejockey, the OP can get a much better selection and credits at Discogs. For WSS please also consider the 2009 New Broadway Cast WSS tracks The original 1957 Bernstein Conducts WSS ain’t too shabby either. For covers I like 1996 Richi... 
preamplifier after preamplifier?
Preamp? Overkill. Just insert one of these.to the sub feed. Then you have RC at the listening position. I do. All else is blather including 2 remotes, har har funny. I've got TV, cable box, BluRay, AVR, HiFi pre amp, DAC, SHD Studio selector,... 
Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
You're shopping wrong. You can still get the P-J delivered for about $2500 all in. I got their 4-way LPS for $200.  
Controlling vibration of woofer baskets
Tape 'em  
Headphone for multi-use
I own the M4U8 after Paul sold me at a show table.The big problem is they a AAA and I can't get any rechargables to work. The Sonys sound better, have a nicer form factor and the Li Ion charge lasts for days. Better noise cancelling too.  
Lavri Cables
AND Lavri come in a cool lil felt bag.  
CD transports
Love the P-J RS2 T CD. You can still get it for ~$2500 delivered.  
Help with finding a new streamer.
Experienced with the Blue sound. BluOS is clutzy. I believe iFI when they state they a working on improving their player. Lenmark not so much  
Help with finding a new streamer.
Add to your list miniDSP SHD Studio, Magna Mano Ultra, Allo USBridge Signature and Pro-Ject S2 Ultra. They all are under $1K and have different feature sets but only the last two are USB out. My DAC is input agnostic.
