Yellow Brick Road Vinyl Reissues Issues
THIS DJM press for some reason lists as the most desireable press https://www.discogs.com/release/17812471-Elton-John-Goodbye-Yellow-Brick-Road A quick check of mine, reveals no such luck, good press nevertheless. I have the DJM 1001 not the... 
Sonus faber center speaker as front?
Your own ears are the final judge if they will work. Just make sure your doors are locked and window shut, to keep the audio police out. The specs are just like any other speaker. You're fine. Great looking boxes. Gettem. Buy a pair of subs for ... 
Gamut Lobster Chair
You might be on to something there, dcpillai. With the sweep of the headrest area, it might have an effect like cupping your ears, adding some aural "embellishment" to the experience? Great looking chair. Being a gear head, I'll take a Recaro cu... 
Yellow Brick Road Vinyl Reissues Issues
Good chance this period press record club release will sound quite good, at minimum better than those reissues. I never had any luck with reissues of classics. They always have a degree tonality that my ears don't like. Maybe it's because the ori... 
Behind the scenes Audio Research I/50
Likely a nice sounding unit Lexie tube display cheezy. Clearly a price point unit. They're an establised company, and they can't figure out how to provide a real enclosure? The perforated look screams "value" box.   
Ortofon Cadenza with VPI Scout

Turntable Belt Care—talc or corn starch?
blson- I like the LP storage unit-brand? Also like the choices of albums on display.

Turntable Belt Care—talc or corn starch?
Belts are relatively inexpensive(in audioland) LP Gear supplies my VPI belts. Keep 2-3 on hand- replace yearly or every other depending on use/enviroment.  "Maintenance" of a big rubber band seems ridiculous to me.  The slipping you desribe is i... 
Tube integrated amp recommendations
Pound for pound, value/performance  buy. BUT MIC. There are a couple of listings here, for the Prima Luna Evo 400. Headphone jack(good one) included There is a new function, which is embedding pic/video. Tried to just link  page but it appears bu... 
which phono preamp
With the Rogue, you will hear the virtues of a tube unit.. Good or bad, your ears will decide.

Well, if cutesy pics/videos were long overdue, then it's a good thing.  
Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage.
FINALLY, a real problem thread. You of course use  shielded IC's. Does reception change with  physical location or with unit orientation?
