Virtually lost, a minimalist cries out for "help."
I second whatjd's comments concerning going direct. The sonics of the few cd players (Audio Aero, Wadia, Old Philips CD-80) I tried that would go dirct sounded better going thru my CJ premier 16ls II.Chuck 
HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound
I would highly recommend Conrad Johnson MF series or Pass Labs X series. But if you choose CJ I would look for a A model such as a MF2500A. The A upgrade is much more detailed and worth the extra money.Chuck

Weird Question on Murray Pariah SACD Confusion
I believe you may be refering to Murray Perahia BACH Keyboard concertos #3,5,6,7. The lable is red with a picture of Murray doing what appears to be looking into an opened grand piano.Chuck
