Cathedral Ceiling the Culprit in New Music Room?
You describe the room as being "dead" and the previous room as "lively". I think with the shelves containing books leaving uneven surfaces to defract sound along with the beams in the ceiling creating sound traps. I think you need more reflective ... 
"Must-have" SACDs Out There
I would add to that list, Peter Gabriel "UP" Roxy Music "Avalon" , Patricia Barber "Blue Cafe" and "Companion", also the new Mike Oldfield "tubular bells" is a great multi mix. 
Rega RB-300 tonearm with Incognito Rewire ?????

Rega RB-300 tonearm with Incognito Rewire ?????
I added it to my RB600 ,Lauerman Imports, I don't know if they are still doing it as they are no longer the Rega importer. I had a RF hum in the system and the extra gound of the Incognito eliminated it. Also I felt that the bass tightened up a bi... 
Turntable problem
I would say if you could replace the stylus it is a MM cartridge. The muffled on the MC setting confirms it.Try using a standard aux input. The phono stage in you unit sounds like it is not matching up with the cart output.

Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD?
I agree with jmcgrogan two ears two speakers. I have a Marantz DV8400 and it is OK with the multichannel stuff. But I feel 5 speakers playing all at once is a fun listening session. When I want to do serious listening it is always stereo. I want t... 
Preamp For McIntosh MC352
I have the MC352 and use it with a MX134 as well as a MC7205. I just read the reveiw in Home Theater on the C42 and it sounds like a great piece. I recommend the C42 so that in the future you can add theater sound if you desire. 
Salamander Video Racks
I just purchased a SVDO cabinet and am very impressed with design, build and flexability. The only way to go short of custom built. 
McIntosh MX 130 as a 2 channe preamp tuner
check audioclassics.com they have a lot of McIntosh they may have the 118. They also check everything out. They are a bunch of retired McIntosh employees.
