Quick and free fuse tweak
Egg carton guy seems to be a bit of a joker. He has other junk posts.I can understand his skepticism as the systems he appears to be playing around with are low resolution efforts. 
What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in?
@millercarbon That crossed my mind and then you said it. #funny

As far as buying classic albums like DSOTM, always procure the originals if possible. The UK Harvest in the case of Pink Floyd. I find Discogs originals, even if somewhat worn, to be better sounding than processed reissues. 
oscillation in power supply filter caps
If the caps are bad, there could be an increased load on the transformer causing it to vibrate.

@mrdecibel  Thanks for the posts and original tweak info. The only reason I tried it was because lightning took out the preamp fuse. I've since done the same to 30mm slow blow antique fuses in my vintage tube power amps with noticeable but lesser ...

How many turntable’s have you owned?
So skip the long process then and go for broke! Good luck. 
TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath?
Seeing as you already have a wooden rack in the equation, try the Segue on the slate only.
