Empire EDR9 cart into Lehmann Audio Decade phono preamp, sounds awful
The manual is available here. Looks straight forward once you know where everything is. https://www.lehmannaudio.com/downloads.html  
Not a question, but a comment.
Good to hear.  As long as he behaves  in the forums and doesn't shamelessly plug his business as that  D&T guy manages to do in threads-pathetic  and tolerated by the forum police.    
Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE
The irony-there actually are fans of this womans.....uh music? Millennial crowd diva/genius. Heard through millions of Iphones.    
New Rega P10 setup
"I went with an P10 with Aphelion 2." You can now get off the merry -go -round until you're ready to dump some serious cash. Now direct audio neurosis towards getting  period, original mint  pressings of what you listen to. Enjoy.  
Sonus Faber Amati Trads or Serafinos + Gravis Vi?
Dealer who doesn't recommend  the OP's speaker brand choice and by coincidence ISN"T a SF dealer...whooda thunk? Tacky SF's sound great with any music...geez    
Something on top of a speaker=okay?
I don't object to a little "something on top of speakers  
New Rega P10 setup
 "I purchased an open box, no cart for $2,500.00 less because that's what I can afford right now" 10-4. Didn't interpret your OP clearly. I'd simply try all your existing carts and see what sounds the "best" to your ears. Looks like you got it fo... 
New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement
Laynes- I fail to understand what in your post is the actual SQ problem? Your PL has noise suppression   circuitry. As mentioned, a good piece  of equipment with  adequate power supply is really all that's needed. You have the dedicated line, whi... 
New Rega P10 setup
Rega Apheta-3 screws, adjust tracking force=ready to play. Why isnt Rega's own high end  cart on your list? If Apheta isnt enough Aphelion@$5500   
Is this an alternative to Stromtank and PS Audio ?

Revox Straight Line Turntables
"service manual is in German, so I have translated that part. I’m German, but @tablejockey Revox isn’t, they’re Swiss 😉)"  bertel- Oops! Obvious I didn't type my thought out clearly, AND proofread before posting! I did  mean Swiss(and German) ty... 
Speaker positioning and center image depth
lanx0003- Reality is if you don't have dedicated space-whatever sounds good to your ears. Equal side/front wall distance introduce SQ concerns?  
Revox Straight Line Turntables
Looks like a price point 80's product. Most info appears to be in German, guessing it doesn't have a built in phonoamp. Being German, maybe a little "better" or  equal to a Pioneer "rack" unit from the same period.  
Speaker positioning and center image depth
Addition to the Cardas diagram. Just plug in dimensions. I find something between this and room 1/3rd's works in my room. Both are going to have the speaker dominate the real estate. For dedicated rooms only. I have a pair of ML panels 8' out in ... 
U2 live. Music realism
Brutal  crowd up in here... U2 caught my attention for a brief moment-with "I will Follow" from the 1980 "Boy" album. Tapped out after hearing  it 20/day on the radio. Then Bono had to start opening his mouth with his "opinion" on things. Now "c...
