Dawn Of The Century Ragtime Orchestra ‎– Silks And Rags (Arcane 1972) 
Receiver
Am I doing something wrong? I have a 65" 4k TV and tube amps in 2 channels with a sub... 
Preamp for under $400 with tone/bass adjustment?
I thought you sorted the bass on your system with the MM/MC switch... 
Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like
Regarding VTA, mentioned above, here are 2 images:Humor me and remove VTA shim and felt mat.  
My left speaker emits a slight soft static high pitched noise
You've a lot of stuff going on there. Go back to basics and disconnect everything and start from scratch with power amp and speakers, and listen for the noise as you reconnect each item, step by step.  
Garrard 60hz Strobed platter
Do a sound quality check on both platters. Let them spin for 20 mins before testing. 
Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up?
Or...you could go Duo and add a REL T5i sub or two if you needed more low end. 
Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up?
If you buy the Duo, you'll always be wondering what the Trio could have brought. So, in a way, you may have to suffer your own curiosity and need for lower bass. Even if the overall last iota of quality is sacrificed.  
“Marks on the underside”
Overstate blemishes and detail them in photos. Let the buyer decide and cover yourself. 
Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up?
Stand mounted generally have better imaging while floor standing have more bass. The Duo appear to be the better model. So, quality over quantity. It's up to you after that.

If you add a spacer to help with VTA, you'll raise the back of the arm making the cartridge sound more etched and brighter. 
Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed?
Well done russ69. Sometimes it’s the least obvious or simplest of errors.as for speaker placement, if that was the issue, wouldnt i hear it when i play the iphone too?Not necessarily if it was an acoustic feedback or turntable-based issue. 
Uninsulated bare copper wire for turntable ground OK?
Sure. But is life that hard that you cannot procure a yard of wire?!

Are you positive VTF and VTA are correct?
