Jw Signature Interconnects
Had the name of the company wrong - it is Jw Audio Signature..... 
Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?
I really like the solid core sound. I have JW audio cryoed speaker cables and interconnects. The speaker cables are stunningly good and cost uner a hundred bucks; the IC's are very good and are acquiting themselves nicely in my refence system. 
Review: Jw audio interconnect and speaker cables
Bigshutterbug - glad to know that my ears are not fooling me,lol....I don't mind spending a some bucks to get good gear but every now and then there is a disruptive product that gives great perfomance but costs very little. 
"Great RCA interconnects under $100?"
yes, absolutely. JW Cryo interconnects are excellent. 
Need recommendations on speaker cables
I would echo the JW Audio cryo speaker cables. I just bought an 8 foot pair; my system is an Audio Van Alstine 250 wpc heavily modded hybrid amplifier, EAR pre-amp, Emerald Physic CS 3 speakers, locally made subwoofer, Balanced Power technology mo... 
Tube Audio Design HIbachi-II amps with Maggie 1.6?
His latest amps work very well with the Magnepan 1.7's in my system. 
Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier
Vett93 - I have the Fet-valve 250 wpc hybrid amplifier; it is about 14 years old. It has been significantly modded and has bybees installed. It was a fine amplifier in stock form. Modded it is a killer amp. 
Connectting Alesis 9600 to BAT VK32-SE
I too have an Alesis and plan to use it for recording vinyl. Can you connect the phonostage outputs directly to the inputs of the Alesis or is the only/better way to run the preamp tape out into the Alesis inputs? 
good amp for Maggies?
I have had great luck with three amplifiers - an Audio Van Alstine 250 wpc FETvalve hybrid ampflifier (heavily modded, including bybees), Canary CA-160 tube monoblock amplifiers, and Tube Audio Design Hibachi monoblock amplifiers.I was persuaded t... 
Atma-Sphere MA 1's Amps and Magnepan 1.7's
Thanks Audiokinesis and Ghs. My Canary CA-160's sounded very nice on the Mags. 
Canary ca-160 monoblocks - opinions please
My Canary CA-160 monoblocks have been modded by RHB Soundezign. They drive my Magnepan 1.7's magnificently. Excellent sound... 
Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier
Oranda - my comment that caught your attention is in relation to the hyperetched, razor-like presentation of some solid state amps. The Hibachi monoblocks avoid this; in an absolute sense there is no rounding off of the sound. In the relative sens... 
Canary preamp experiences?
I have the Canary monoblock pre-amplifiers and they were very good in stock form I had the modded by Bob and Gary Backert of RHB Soundezign and they turned them into phenomenal pre-amps. Exceptionally clean and clear sound with great imaging (dept... 
Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier
Hello Frank - you very well may be right. I agree with the often overlooked synergism factor - some equipment just mates a lot better with one piece than another. The Wyred 4 S amp I had was lower powered and, in the same system, was not as dynami... 
Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier
Plato, I hear you. I had the lower powered Wyred 4 Sound 125 wpc amplifier and it sound very silky smooth, clean and clear with nice extension across the frequency spectrum. However, they are definitely leaner sounding than the TAD-125 and are not...
