After 20 years, in the market for a power amp
++ on the Orchard Audio  
CLASS D
+1 on the Orchard Audio Starkrimson monos !!  
Holy Holostages!!
I once used a Parasound JC-3 and it was a great preamp.  
Mark Knopfler & James Taylor
" Reflections of my life" Marmalade " All My Loving" The Beatles " Your going to Lose that Girl" The Beatles " Sultans Of Swing"  Dire Straits  
Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
If you like slide Delta blues, Justin Johnson is another great talent.  
Recommendation Tube Integrated
You might want to look at the Line Magnetic integrateds. They are highly regarded and offer  high power for tube amps. I am familiar with the 805ia and it is a beast.  
Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100?
+1 on the Decware cables.  
Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?
I am a big Mark Knopfler fan . His brother David is also a fine talent. I think that he has made about 20 or so albums since leaving Dire Straits. You might give him a listen.  
Speaker Cable Recommendation
Since you have a Decware amp why not try the Decware cables? I have a pair and  I have no complaints about any part of their performance. They are reasonable also.    
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
👍 Orchard Audio.  
SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?
First Watt SIT-3  
need amp recommendations for more separation of instruments
Try the Benchmark AHB2 amp. This amp excels at those things that you mentioned and are relatively inexpensive.  
Cheapest but good cables….
You can check out  They have a few brands such as Mogami,Canare,Van Damme,Gotham. They are cheap and seem to be well made.I have a pair of the Mogami interconnects and I don't have any complaints.  
Looking for Blues with High Fidelity
" Think of Me"  by Little Milton is a great CD.
