Interesting (or not) dilemma
Stuff your ports? 
Small dedicated listening rooms
For those with “small rooms”, take some masking tape and block off 8.5’ x 10’. My room is about 50% larger, and is still small and challenging. Again, I’d focus on creating a very soothing environment around a killer headphone set-up.  
Small dedicated listening rooms
Without knowing any more than you’ve stated, I’d seriously consider a headphone set-up and the most comfortable recliner I could find. My listening space is 12’ x 11’ x 10’. Any smaller and I’d sell it all and go for the ‘phones.

Best $40 I've spent...maybe ever
@kahlenz,Congrats! Your connections were probably already in good shape. I’ve had my core components for 12+ years, and until recently, have never cleaned the connections. My results were a bit more dramatic - I could see the results of my efforts...

Looking for a technical explanation...
The better ground connection was my first guess, but elizabeth posits an interesting explanation. I find the whole thing curious, but regardless, emphasizes the importance of clean connections.

@amg56, I reread my paragraph and I understand why you may think my Dragon is a turntable - it’s actually a cassette deck. I should clarify.

@ctsooner, take it down a notch. You wouldn’t have jumped in if Vandersteen wasn’t mentioned.  Candidly, GMA’s are more similar than dissimilar to the Vandersteen design principles.  If you don’t have the physical space for Vandersteen’s, you can ...

Reed 3P dealer
I've got a Teres table, so I can accommodate most any arm (however, the armboard is drilled for a Rega, so I'd have to redrill to mound a Reed). I'd really like a 10.5" 3P w/ Cocobolo wand, black body, and balanced wiring. I'm not ready to pull th...

@chakster ,If you had the opportunity to make your Reed purchase again, would you go with the 12” or a shorter length? Just curious.
