Why Music Is Good For The Brain
@ghdprentice  Is nothing sacred? Never joined AARP and still rely on AAA for discounts!

The corollary is that dissonant noise like yard machines is upsetting, and bad for your health.   
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges
The Audi Technica VM750SH is very good but not great. I haven't heard the 760. The Nagaoka MP500 is excellent. I had the older MP50 and it was only bested by my Deccas. However the Nag has less surface noise. You could check out @halcro ​​​​​@chak... 
floor speakers installed on the wall.... ?
Yeah, don't think that'll work in those wooden houses they have in the US. The whole structure will vibrate.

Depends on the type of speaker. What model? Type of home construction?   
Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises
This whole OP issue is odd.  
Cartridge for JVC
The Mani mk2 is much improved and the OP may like to try it at $149. There are other alternatives but taking phono external to the AVR will improve things.  
Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises
I assume you mean by not in use as not playing a record but still connected and selected as the source. If this is the case, your table/cartridge is picking up subwoofer output and amplifying it somehow. Airborne or structural. Fit Nobsound spring... 
Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises
+1 Could it be that simple? Sounds like a feedback loop. How loud is your subwoofer set? When the phonostage is idle, there was just rumble.

The vinyl end of this rig is never going to sound great with an AVR built-in phono stage. An AT95e and a Schiit Mani mk2 plugged into an Aux input will likely sound better.

Your phono amp is reproducing low frequency signals coming from your turntable, its support, and the room. You could try springs under the turntable.  If you can’t sort it out, try a rumble filter.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?

Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is
Bottled water. Now, that's markup. $3 a case of 24, sells in the airport for $4.75 per bottle. I once was told that $2 toothbrushes often cost stores less than 10 cents.  
What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself?
@tomic601 Is that the new one with the prism on the cover? Any good? @rsmith73  I heard that in a certain voice!    
Why "bookshelf" sspeakers?
Bigger floor-mounted boxes may have coloration from cabinet vibrations and resonance which can impact the coherence and detail of the midband.
