Directionality for Alphacore Goertz MI 2 cable?
I am using those cables with a Bryston 9B driving 20 v.2 and 60 v.2 and not having any special problems with highlighting/brightness. What amp do you have? 
Reliability of Sonic Frontiers gear?
I've had many and only had one problem with a failed tube and resistor on a Power3. SF supplied replacement parts and detailed instructions to avoid packing and shipping($$$). Otherwise, trouble-free for years. 
How do you find BEST classical recordings???
What a clear, informative and useful response. Thanks. 
Amp and preamp impedance
Typical is almost irrelevant. If you want the filters to have any accuracy, you should know the impedances of your particular components. Of course, you can define characteristic impedance of the network at intermediate values but you'd still need...

What are your components? 
one 6 channel input, 2 seperate DVDA SACD players
Not for audio but I do have several DB25 2-way switchers which we used (in the past) for selecting printers or other external devices. Take a look at a computer supplies company.

Have you considered one of the parallel or serial port switches made for computer interfaces based on the DB25 connector? 
Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W
The bass on the 800 is superb. I expect to audition the 20Ts next week. 
Will adding 5-ch amp to receiver make a difference
What is your reason for doing this? If you could state what you are trying to achieve or what is unsatisfactory about the present system, a useful response might be possible. 
Best SACD player under 2,000.
Sony XA-777ES 
Sonic Frontiers Power series
I've done it twice. It is a real bother but not technically or physically difficult. 
Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W
Above 2.2KHz, the Salon and Studio are identical, afaik. 
What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3?
eVo2 and McCormack. 
Pain in my butt
My sympathy and best of luck. I have a similar problem which we have managed successfully for years with care and therapy (and occasional drugs). It can be done although while getting through the crises it may be hard to believe. 
sacd vs xrcd
I have had the opportunity to listen to a few FIM discs in both SACD and XRCD and the SACD sounds better on the same system. I stand by my assertion that the SACD medium has much greater potential, to say nothing of multichannel. ;-)
