There's a lot of good advice here. I'll add my 2 cents from personal experience regarding the cartridge. If you choose the RP-3, upgrade the Rega Elys cart since it has a lot of detail in the highs and can sound sibilant in some systems. You don't... 
Absorption panels on ceiling..what to expect?
What facets of reproduction are you wanting to change or improve?Good question. I would think that diffusion on the ceiling should be tried. You have a small room and have done well with the absorption treatments thus far. Absorption on the ceilin...
