Speakers for Krell s300i
The local dealer where I live paired Krell with B&W. I heard the KAV 400xi with a pair of B&W 603's awhile back. I thought the combination sounded real good with acoustic jazz.. Didn't get to listen to other types of music, though. 
Primare I30 and B&W 803D, enough power??
Demianm: a Coda CSI integrated will do a real good job with your 803's, but you'll have to go over your budget just a little. There's one for sale here -check it out. I have nothing to do with the sale and I don't know the person selling it. 
Best power conditioner?
"For me" it's Tara Labs Power Screen AD-10B... I believe it was originally designed by EAD, though. I had Tice Elite, too... very good!! 
Primare I30 and B&W 803D, enough power??
Rotel is good, but the "dual mono" Primare I30 is in another league, and will not have a problem driving the B&W 803D's in your apartment.. Low to mid level listening will be much better with the Primare I30. 400 watt mono blocks are not neces...

Cable upgrades for Quicksilver linestage preamp?
>The sound is not dynamic, kinda dull not detailed not enough tight bass<There's a good possibility in an impedance miss-match between your Quicksilver linestage and McCormack amp. Check the specifications in each manual - make sure the outp... 
Static-like digital "pops" on CDs - can be what?
I can't tell you what the problem is cause I don't remember, but years ago I purchased an Onkyo Integra CD player -their top of the line at the time, which developed the same problem (ticks and pops toward the end of the disc) after a coupler of y... 
help with speakers that rock, pleeze
PSB Stratus Gold, would be my 1st choice, or do some research on JBL. Klipsch is good, too... and yes, Legacy! 
Which letter is your favorite
Not that T is my favorite letter, nor was I trying to build my system around that letter but, the first three products I purchased 12 years ago for my system I still have today starts with the letter T. Theta Threshold "T series" Tara LabsNow, all... 
Black Gate caps
Thanks Sherod. I had my preamp modified in '06. I never turn it off, and I play music a lot all the time. I'm basically happy with the results.
