Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Danny Gatton. Period. 
best interconnect under $100 for my system????
If you have not tried the Quicksilver pure silver IC's at www.quicksilveraudio.com, I can't say enough about them. They bested MUCH higher priced cables in my system. They are $90/meter. 
Upgrade my Jolida on the cheap
Mullard CV4004 tubes. They will skyrocket your Jolida head and shoulders above many other higher priced players. They were the best money I've spent on this system. No kidding. 
Jolida JD-100A Tube Rolling
I've tried several tubes, and just reached the end of the road with a pair of Mullard CV4004's. They exploded the soundstage in width and depth, and made the musicians sound like they emerged from behind a curtain. Absolutely the best money I've s... 
A rocking tube amp & speaker combo?
Thanks again for all the input. I appreciate it. 
A rocking tube amp & speaker combo?
Thank you for the responses. Really appreciate it. I'll look into a higher powered amp. 
Best Integ'td Tube Amp w/ Silverline Sonata IIIs?
I heard the Audion MKII EL34 driven SET amp and was thoroughly impressed--about $2100 new. Also, you might ask Alan Yun himself. I listened to the Sonata III's at his place, driven by a 7W SET he had built himself, and it sounded like pure heaven.... 
Silver interconnect and Copper spkr wire synergy
Everything depends upon your listening tastes, but I have to say of all the IC's I've tried (up to $600 range), I am happiest with my $90 pure silver Quicksilver IC's. I also used their speaker cables. Very revealing, and not too bright, even with... 
Quicksilver Interconnect & Speaker Wire
I'm running Quicksilver IC's between my monoblocks & preamp, and also using their speaker cable. I could not be happier. I have a VeraStarr silver IC running from the preamp to the CD player, and it may be (although it's very hard to tell) sli...

Review: VeraStarr 1m Silver Reference Interconnect Interconnect
I too have a set of the VeraStarr's, and they are absolutely fantastic. Detailed, yet still warm and inviting. So natural, they bring out the best in my system. 
Small size tube amps...any recommendations??
I have the 5.3's as well, and I've been auditioning SET amps all week. As low as 7 watts in a medium size room, and have not turned the amp past halfway. I don't know if you have purchased an amp yet, but I'd love to hear about what you've auditio...
