Hey..... You go first. Then I get to criticize. The winner is the last person to suggest a phono stage.

Just curious. If you don't describe your table/arm phono pre it would be difficult to comment.

Benz Glider vs Dynavector DV-17D3 phono cartridge
JfiveeightYou might look into Pete Riggles VTA. A very cheap upgrade for the Rega. Stick with the Denon.

What is the Audiogon of music instruments?
I don't think there is an Audiogon for musical instruments. Musicians usually know and want exactly what they are purchasing and keep those instruments. Audiophiles on the other hand have no idea what they really want. They only know what they thi... 
Why not horns?
Electrostatics is so much harder to say then "horns". 
room setup question
