I am using two dozen of Shunyata's dark field minis to separate cables. Very effective and reasonably priced. http://www.musicdirect.com/p-2784-shunyata-dark-field-minis-12pk.aspx 
Dedicated Line(s), One Line or Two?

@jafant .....I do own a 12K SACD player, might as well make use of it :-)I found some Chris Botti / Diana Krall titles in SHM-CD format.  Thank you for your feedback.

@dayglow  ...do you have any experience with SHD-CD's?  Are they better than regular CD's.  Thank you for the recommendation, I did check the website, good selection and shipping is reasonable too.

1+ejr1953. IMO, Digital music is the only way to go. I often wondered its merits before switching to digital streaming last year. Now I can't imagine paying $30-$40 for remastered CD's or LP's. I see OP point, both elusive disc and music direct si...

why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Lot of sensible responses here.  Before we cut each other's throat, shouldn't we define what's expensive....LOL!!!To me, Nordost Odin 2 is expensive but to few fortunate one's it's the only cable that fits the bill. The ownership of any high price... 
Classe SSP
@firedrums I agree with you, it's a great opportunity to acquire SSP at a bargain basement price if you don't care for 3D, Atmos and DTS:X features.  
Preamp... Solid State or Tube
@electrostaticnut, You got a very nice system and thank you for your feedback.  MBL 6010D is indeed very nice, may be someday.  Based on the general consensus here and my personal experience with Modwright, I am likely to end up with a Modwright t...
