How do I find an audio advisor who does home consultations?


I live on Eastern Long Island and am looking for someone who could do an assessment of my system. Over the last couple of years I've taken the leap into a better quality vinyl system, but just can't seem to get the sound right consistently.  In the past year I purchased a Rega Planar 3 TT, a Line Magnetic tube integrated amp and a Heed phono stage.  There are times it sounds great, but not consistently. I've told two different dealers that my CDs sound better than my vinyl and the response and look I get is like I've spoken heresy.  

I'm in the middle of trying the myriad tweaks (vibration control, new rack, cork mat, record cleaner), am looking into my electrical system (think I have a dedicated line), power conditioner and so on.  I'm considering new phono stage and cartridge as well.

I know how electrical issues ( air conditioner running, dehumidifier on another line) influence sound, but is it possible that vinyl is influenced more that CD's?

Anyway, I'm willing to pay for someone to assess my system in my home as opposed to going to a dealer and guessing that I need this or that without hearing what I am.  Are there dealers that charge an hourly rate to do this?

Udog  I be glad to help, I’m in Lindenhurst let me know. I’m retired now so any afternoon is ok..  
There is also another setup guy in the Jim Smith category that is also known as a turntable Guru.  Many top companies use him to set up their TT gear at shows.  Unfortunately he's in Petaluma CA in NorCal wine country so about as far from you as it can get in the US.  He has traveled internationally to practice his craft.  Check out :www.audiosystemoptimized.com.  Sterling Trayle.  Be sure to post your results should you decide to utilize his services.  I live in Scottsdale and plan on contracting him to come down and work his magic but will wait till fall when it cools off here isn the desert.  Good luck and happy listening.

Note there is a typo in ptrck887's post above with the link.

Here's the right one http://www.audiosystemsoptimized.com/ and it is a great read.  Thanks for sharing.  I'd really like a consultation like this too... but I couldn't afford to fly him in from CA to Minneapolis.  
If you have a lot of $$$  there are plenty of consultations , not that they what there talking about
