Never you mind, you've already answered my question.

@erik_squires that miniDSP Dirac live precessor seems incredible.. but man, $800. Oof. Have you had a chance to check any of their stuff out?

You will probably need some type of bass absorber to tame the boom.. Check out DIY limp membrane absorbersOr GIK Acoustics has tuned membrane bass absorbers..I've just about finished my room acoustic treatments, boomy bass is gone, slap echo is go... 
Cartridges: Complete Scam?
OP - your aggressive and absolute manner will not get you far on here. People have answered you: there is no definite answer. Much depends on compatibility of components, cables and room, not to mention tastes, expectations, budget...That’s your a...

+1 shadorne. He's the one with the barn listening building, yes? So amazing... 
Why does my system now have shrill top end.

@mesch I just got rid of mine when I sold my Yamaha disc changer on eBay...That was definitely a good DAC!My bargain - my class D monoblocks. ICEpower 500asp modules, quality connectors, nice case.. $600 for the pair. 
Cartridges: Complete Scam?
The variety of definitions being applied to the word 'scam' amaze me. Upselling a product to someone who doesn't need it is not a scam.Expensive products that people willingly buy and work as described are not scams.Putting a high end component in...

+1 @grannyring Al and (most of the time) shadorne do a good job of disagreeing without attacking. Criticize the idea, not the person.. 
Why does my system now have shrill top end.
I second what @jea48 said: check, or have your electrician check, the connections in the panel. Not just on the circuit feeding your system, but every connection: hot, neutral and ground for every breaker. You may even consider reseating all the b...
