tube CD player for tube integrated amp?
My general recommendations is not having to much tubes in the chain. 
Why use CD Transport instead of computer source
Using a Squeezebox 3 connected to the digital input of my Cary 306 SACD player does not at any means sound as good as when I ust the Cary as a CD transport. I have not yet tried the Transporter.

Jeff Rowland 201´s or Ayre V-5 X
Ayre! The Rowlands are too lifeless, dead and boring sounding (digital and analytical!) . I had the 501 monos, but sold them. Now I have Theta amps. 
help me decide: VTL 7.5 or ARC Ref 3
I have not heard VTL or ARC, but I am extremely happy with my Cary 306 SACD & Cary slp-05 combo! I use my Cary slp-05 with Theta Citadels. Before that I had Theta GenVIII. Cary slp-05 is better! I can not understand some say the cary slp-05 is...

Cary SLP-05 in combination with Theta Citadels
I have played on my Cary slp-05 / Theta Citadel combo now for more than a month. An incredible match. I actually prefer the Cary slp-05 over the Theta Generation VIII!! 
Which one? Theta Intrepid 100w/chx5 vs Cary5 200w/
I was wrong! I have myself replaced Theta Intrepid with cary Cinema 5 (for center and 4 surrounds). The Cary Cinema 5 is a lot better !! 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Theta Citadel monos and Aerial 20T speakers. An awesome combo! 
Cary SLP-05 in combination with Theta Citadels
That's what I had earlier. I have sold my theta GenVIII and bought a SLP-05 which is just around the corner.
