Here's To Dear Old Dad
My story is very similar to yours, kensekd. My father also gave me a sony boom box when i was around 10. I still remember listening to miles davis reel-to-reels on his maggie mg1's when i was a kid. I still have the bug 20 years later with my 3.5'... 
My first real hi-end audio system Please advise
I agree with JOND. The stuff you have has a tremendous cult following, so it isn't going to depreciate any time soon. You could always sell later. 
CD's Deterioration
what kind of cd is that. I still have the first cd i ever bought from 1985. It sounds as auful as it did new. but still physically fine. 
How do you clean your type of stylus?
i use the jelly dome. I'm a little concerned about residue, but i don't lose sleep over it.

Stereo SACD on a Multi SACD player?
As far as I know every multichannel sacd has a stereo layer. So you should not have a problem. 
Sony DVP-S9000ES DVD Player skipping
try a laser cleaning disc 
Definitive Tech
don't be overly concerned about what other people think about your system. If it sounds good to you, it's good period. It's gotta be better than a htib, I would think. As for receiver I would try: Onkyo, Denon, Outlaw, NAD 
Big caps v Little caps
From what I understand, using many smaller caps is both cheaper, and they have a faster recovery time. 
Bryston 4B-ST, Magnepan 1.6QR, suggest a preamp.
A lot of people at the Maggie Users Group are using the Foreplay tube pre. It's a DIY project that's supposed to be easy. There are ones for sale here that are already assembled. 
Denon 2900 Technical Drawings
There are people that do this opration for a living. I believe sacdmods does that player now. Are you sure you want someone to learn on your player?
