I spent lots of time taking my Linn back and forth to the Linn dealer.  ....never to stay put.  The only vinyl component I had more trouble with was the Helius Orion tonearm which had to be sent to England regularly for pivot issues. 
Aerial 9 need a sub?
A properly implemented sub will free up the amp from working to get those power hungry bass tones....and therefore the mids will become more accurate with greater ease. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound

Solid Silver Power Cord
Silver doesn't make it better. 
Turntable /Cartridge hum
Anytime I've used conditioners, the sound was ruined.   Listen with and then without the condition and evaluate.  (forget the hum for now) 
Marketing slogans to catch the consumers attention
"Signature" 
Questions to ask as I shop for a tonearm?
I would only choose a tonearm that can be adjustable in all needed parameters.....weight of cartridge, height, overhang, azimuth. 
Thiel Owners
These speakers are really good and therefore have to be matched with really good electronics.   If there are flaws in the preceding components, cables, etc. they will be exposed.  Thiels can be wonderful or really annoying if great care is not obs...
