Jeff Beck - Emotion & Commotion?
I have only listened once so far, and am a bit underwhelmed. Lots of covers sounding a bit like elevator music to me. 
really? .89c ground lifters?
I really like the title of your thread! Very Glen Beck-esque! Really!

Do I need room treatments? floor plan included
If your listening sitting at the desk I'd think PROBALY not as you'll be VERY nearfield. Try to get the sub outa' that/any corner. Slide it up or over a bit to reduce bass issues.

Life Death Love and Freedom : John MellencampCheap Trick: Cheap Trick (the first one!)-One of my all time favs. Tom Peterssons 12 string bass sounds great, Neilsons' guitar playing is creative, Zanders' voice is running the gamut. yep.

I've got in on CD, hi-rez and LP. The LP sounds stellar. Good music too, though not my favorite of his. 
Record surface noise Right Channel?
That's great news! Seeing as you have the old arm (with the old wire) VPI's suggestion of twisting the wire 1 turn may work wonders for your tracking. Just undo the connector where it goes into the RCA junction box and turn it 1 turn. One directio...
