Obvious Epiphany
I’ve got a similar issue in reverse the left was louder than the right.  I’ve found that sometimes room treatments can help balance things out.  In one instance, a half-round piece about 5’ tall against the wall between the speakers did the trick ...

Why not use spades?  
Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along
I’d get a room humidifier and leave it on set it to 55% humidity, and when you’re ready to listen just turn it off.  I use this one that works well and is cool air so very energy efficient… https://www.amazon.com/AIRCARE-5D6-700-4-Speed-Humidifie... 
Why so many ARC Ref 6SE preamps up for sale?
Over the past two months there were like 7 Ref 6es listed internationally and none in the US. What the hell are you even talking about? You’ve apparently been here about 23 years and started six threads, and THIS is where you wanna go???  What’s y... 
Ethernet cables
@jriggy This one has been recommended here and can be had up to 98 ft.  Hope this helps, and best of luck. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087C8K4N5/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?smid=A1EA54VWB150Z7&amp=undefined&th=1  
Integrated for Devore O/93
Sounds like in your heart you like the Mastersound, and I’d say follow your heart. One other thing I’d say is to step up to a separate phono stage — it’s too important to compromise with an integrated’s phono stage IMHO. Best of luck.

@rbautista Congrats!  Look forward to your future impressions/thoughts.  
Estelon's AURA Speaker Arrives at Reviewer/Artist Greg Petan's NYC Loft, Part 1!
Way cool art — especially love that first piece and, of course, the one of the musician. Have to say I was pretty surprised at the Krell phono pre. Not that it’s not a great piece, but Krell isn’t exactly known for phono preamps. Likewise a little... 
Led Zep Fool in the Rain
@toddalin GREAT tune!!!  And thanks for sharing!  It’s kinda like a jazz meets Steely Dan kinda fusion vibe, and you’re right — the drums are absolutely money on this.  I think a lotta country/blues players are highly underrated, and this lays tha...

@steve59 To be honest, I didn’t even understand your point.   
Speaker Cables : Moderate priced
+1 @ghdprentice especially if you can run a long balanced interconnect — then it’s a no brainer unless you don’t have a remote I guess.   
Led Zep Fool in the Rain
Just following up on @hifiguy42 mention of Rosanna — made me go back to listen to it and found this live version I thought might be worth sharing… https://youtu.be/S-CXfoveDFw?si=MaH1Zg0uHgb0hNuU BTW, can anyone think of a more stunning reinvent... 
Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System
I was gonna recommend D-Sonic but you beat me to it.  That’s definitely what I’d do.  Best of luck.

@lonemountain Great info.  Thanks!  
Integrated amp w/decent headphone out under $5k
With your headphones and speakers you might well do fine with an LTA MZ2 or MZ3.  I’d do the MZ3 if I was you.
