Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand
What strikes me is that most of the music above is faster paced than I was expecting. But then I am mostly thinking of the Trinity Sessions when I think Cowboy Junkies.Can anyone recommend some really slow music in the same vein?I will go to Pando... 
To big to fail? What road are we headed down?

Recommendations on Turntable for under $1k
I have an Audio Note TT1, Arm 1 and IQ2 cartridge and really like it. It tracks well is vibrant and really open and detailed. If you could find the same thing used it would be about $1000.00.

Byegolly there is also a black and blue burger at BW3, a blackened hamburger with bleu cheese, alas they are always overdone and not worth the price...agree about the pineapple on pizza (ugh) but that is not the same thing!

Wendy's bacon bleu burger is one of the few we have in Kazoo and I confess to eating one. Something about the two flavors is good depite the horrific Wendy 'burger' flavor. :^D I forgot we also have Red Robin but a $10 burger should be way better ... 
Where to get hi end cables reterminated
I had Nick Gowan at True Sound fix some Audio Note cables and they were fine. I do not know if he would fix yours however but you may want to give him a shout if Siltech does not suit your needs.http://www.tsound.com/ 
Amp and speakers combo- Magnepan MG 1.6/QR
have you tried changing the resistor value on the tweeter?It seems to be a popular choice around here...you could try changing wire, something like Acoustic Zen is the smoothest stuff around...good luck 
Full Range Speaker That Can Play Near Boundaries

Are you able to audition Audio Note gear? I do not have a specific model to recommend but in general you described their house sound... 
Direct TV thru Pre-amp
