Feikert is NOT the only option as there is a new kid on the block that DOES give you crosstalk figures in .1 db.  Actually mine dropped 5.1 db matched after a .1 db boost to the left channel. Just sayin'Not holy grail, more like holy crap.

Only one of 3 is cockeyed and since they are all handmade...It is still well within the range of my headshell.The Ort sounded the best of the 3 - now better seperation.I see that the Fozgometer is down to $250. Still kinda rich for a one trick pony.

I eyeballed it for 35 years until yesterday. Now t looks cockamamie but SQ is lucious and crosstalk is down 5 db.

Cheaper is better for me. 
Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps?

Tube versus SS
I think in your case SQ diffs might be more attributed to the quality of the DAC vs the sound of the tubes. If you like the 6922s try some RCA ClearTop 6FQ7s in there.

Fletcher-Munson - Random Variables and You
It's only about what sounds good. Hearing CAN evolve and "good" is moving target, but, if it sounds good to you don't pay any attention to the next guy. Enjoy the music. 
Are CD players goig the way of the 8 track,and the cassette?
8 tracks and cassettes WERE convenient at the time. And entropy wrecks 'em, you can't preserve them. The magnatized info fades.  NEVER close to the master recording. CDs ARE close for better or worse. They can be sensibly ripped to lossless+. Anyo...
