My left speaker emits a slight soft static high pitched noise
Temporarily unplug the power from the router and see what happens.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?

What does 'cold' mean? What does 'warm' mean?
You should also see the subtle color of the music. Cooler colors like chromium, silver, grey, tinges of blue through warmer colors with tinges of green, iridescent purple, yellow, gold, cabernet, tan, brown.

Jane Morgan With The Troubadors ‎– Fascination (Kapp 1957 mono)A few songs on this to die for. If you're not in love after 'River Seine' and 'Midnight In Athens', you or your system is dead inside. Recommended.

Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All (Discreet 1975) 
Record for vinyl.
I checked out vinyl on TikTok and almost every kid had a decent collection of records displayed proudly. And almost every kid had a Crosley suitcase player. It was quite depressing. 
Opinions on differing power cable for amp and preamp
Have you a dedicated 20amp run to your audio gear?

@tomic I had to read that twice. That *is* funny. 
Best Power cable around/prefer under $300....
BLE Design on Ebay. OFC 10 gauge. Rhodium or gold connectors. $39. Looks great. Sounds great. You can tell your friends it was $300 and spend the rest on music. 
Got a new (to me) VPI Aries for Xmas... what’s the arm upgrade path?
Isn’t the 3D a drop-in replacement? 
What is the name of the tool?
You might also read up on decibels and power.  
MC cartridge High output vs Low output
@discodrom If you are looking at the 2M Black, consider the Audio Technica VM750SH or VM760ML. Quieter in the groove than the Ortofon. 
Need suggestions for balanced equipment to Combat noise/hum
Have you tried more heavily shielded interconnect cables? 
MC cartridge High output vs Low output
High output versions will always sound worse than low output versions of the same model.  
receiver or preamp
A receiver has a power amp in it already so why buy another? Cash them in and buy an integrated amp? You've answered your own question. You're not pushed about "absorbing" the music so buy what you need. A cheap receiver.
