put a Classic platter on it. 
Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop
Cables are so system dependent.....  In MY system Cardas was the very worst cable..and it was recommended by the manufacturer.  I'm glad they work for you. 
Ortofon Cadenza Red
Why put the Red in the 3D arm?  That arm can accomodate the finest cartridge extant. 
Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit?
Be careful when you audition....very slight anoyances can quickly make the component an ad on audiogon in very short order.  I had a B&W 802D ....bought it much too fast after my wife passed....needed a present I guess.....got rid of the speak... 
best integrated amp.
Ayre makes a couple of excellent ones 
Does the ceiling fan affect the sound?
rowe 1951 ...you are correct.  That's exactly what I experience. 
What should I upgrade?
You don't mention cables....My Ayre greatly benefited from good power cords. 
Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor
That's a surprise....I would think the floor refection would be helpful. 
Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce
I question your amp driving 5's with that amp....I have 5A's driven by 200 watts channel Ayre and sometimes I feel its not enough (although I have a very large room) 
Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce
Never liked those Wilsons...and always liked Vandersteens....You really should listen for yourself. 
Richard Gray's Power Company 400S, two stories.
Glad Richard Grey worked for you ...they were absolutely awful in my system. Felt lucky to have sold them 
Does the ceiling fan affect the sound?
I agree with Kmcarty...also....if the fan is on the same circuit as your system, it may affect it electrically (cheap fans always do) I have Haiku fans ...silent, efficient, beautiful, made in USA, expensive. 
Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound?
Foster_9...  I agree Porter Ports are very good...had them for all the outlets that service my system....but I changed to Maestro which was an immediate improvement.   
Do supertweeters matter when we cant hear past 15,000 hz?
Therefore....is the addition of a super tweeter a benefit to my speakers 
2 subs in a small room?
It will be helpful....that's what volume controls are for....
