Yup! There ya go! I used to teach Design for Six Sigma for 10 years as a Master Black Belt in the Biotech company I worked in. Deming laid the core foundation for all of that. A very wise man. Altschuler's Theory of Ideality is always a good thing to strive for. In particular with respect to vinyl playback, because it is so sensitive to the impact of "noise factors". The simpler you can make a "system", the less likely it'll be susceptible to noise factors impacting the "control factors".

Yeah, sure...experiments are always a good idea! If I may make a suggestion, to ensure your experiment is "fully orthogonal", as we would say in DOE-parlance, also consider trying that killer P8 on that incredibly expensive $19.99 Ikea Aptitlig bamboo platform resting on some Herbie's Tenderfoot footers. 
Please let us know what you find out.
