Magnepan Crossover Mod Approach?
Thanks for your responses, cautions, and emails. The input is very much appreciated. 
Emerald Physics 2.3 or Magnepan
I have had the CS 2's and currently have the CS 3's; also run the magnepan 1.7's on my reference system with a 140 wpc tube amp (Canary). Both the CS 3's and the 1.7's are run with subwoofers. In that configuration, the 1.7's are giant killers for... 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
This piece of equipment certainly has piqued my interest. I have a very resolving, highly musical, clean sounding system with great detail and imaging: Canary monoblock tube amps 140 wpc, Canary monoblock tube pre-amps, Magnepan 1.7 speakers, Zent... 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range
Emerald Physic CS-3's once fully broken in with an upgraded Boehringer cross-over. Doug Jessie @ Asi_Teknology rebuilt mine. Holy smokes these speakers are now absolutely phenomenal. One caveat is that I run them with a subwoofer. The upgrade and ... 
Jw Signature Interconnects
Glad to hear that you had a similar experience as I have with these cables. They do not appear to have a cult following on Audiogon but they sure deserve one given their performance. It may be that given their modest cost that it is hard for hardc... 
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.
