Jaybo, those are used albums that I have bought and have yet to clean therefore haven't listened to them either - plenty more where those came from... 
Best path to test different interconnects?
Great suggestions so far, unfortunately in my experience you simply have to live with them for a while, what may attract you initially might not work for you in the long run. Also, your mental state changes over time, when your in the mood for mus... 
kimber 1016 ????
I have a pair, they are very similar to 1011, obviously in the family. They are ultra smooth and really do ad a punch to the bottom end due to the extra conductors. The bottom end definition and punch is the difference between them and the 1011. T... 
Any Derek Trucks Band fans?
Thats where the Almond Joy candy bar came from - Gregg and Duane Almond! 
Basis Ovation / 2500 vs Sota Cosmos IV
IO - check out the Basis 2200 signature also. I will echo Ebm - service from AJ Conti second to none, 
mcintosh amps any one can explain impedance taps
My Mac 501 SS mono's sound better on the 4 ohm tap with my Thiel 3.6 spkers that have a nominal imp of 4 ohms but dip to 2 ohms. The 2 ohm tap sounded very different, not nearly as good.

Ortofon Windfeld - anyone heard one?
Thanks for the great analogy Vtvu! I have been using a Jubilee for about 2 years now and love it! I will probably get another one or upgrade to the Windfeld when the time comes. 
Midrange texture?
Jylee don't feel goofy about the CD technique - I have tried as well and my hearing is not up to noticing an improvement - but I did manage to make my system look silly!I haven't used 6922 tubes and am not familiar with the configuration of the pr... 
Midrange texture?
Jylee, have you tried different tubes in your CJ? I have a premier 14 and use a combination of Hitachi's and Mullards and love the sound. The GE made in Britain 6GK5's that CJ stocks are the worst tubes I have ever heard!You should pick up a used ... 
Phonostage Question
I'm using an ARC PH5 and have run it with a high output MC - Sumiko Blackbird and low output Ortofon Jubilee. My CJ premier 14 linestage is fairly quiet so I have experienced no issues with either cartridge. Seems like that would be a good match t...
