Cartridge (other than Rega) with Rega RP10
Did she become your ex because of the damage? Folks need to know. 
Balance knob ..
As the SO is calling the shots, when she's not around move the speakers out one inch from the front wall every night before retiring. Hopefully she won't notice. In a few weeks, you're golden.

Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range?

@tomic601 Gave the Ray Brown a listen on digital. Man, that's some raspy  bowing. The vinyl seems to be difficult to get.

Erroll Garner ‎- Solitaire (Mercury 1955 Mono)Guy learned pianoforte when he was 3. Never read or wrote music yet was a prolific composer by ear. I wish you could hear how much like a real piano this recording sounds.
