TT interconnects and power cords
If you want to spend a little extra money, I'd consider the following upgrades...in no particular order...One, step up to a p25. Better arm, better arm cable, better speed control and motor.= better sound all around.Following work on any rega tabl... 
Is there any DVD not CD transport
Muse makes one. It's pretty good on video...Also, Proceed had one...and someone's already mentioned the Theta's...www.museelectronics.com 
Opinions - Symposium Super Plus Platform?
I have some rollerblocks and the fat padz. All I can say is wow. I'll buy it if you don't. They (the shelves)are hard to find used...which says something. 
DVD with Volume Knob
I think the Muse model 10 can do this...btw I used to have a 9 signature. They are real good units. I'd say a step below the top CD players, 1/2 the money and it does DVD. Killer picture quality.www.museelectronics.com 
Component Video Cables Terminated with BNC?
Yes, I have some. Transparent makes them. I'm sure other manufacturer's do as well. try www.fatwyre.com as one source. 
Do Plugged Virgos sound better?
Also, do you follow the immedia speaker positioning. When I had virgo's this worked wonders...http://www.audiophysic.de/info/aufstellung/e_index.html 
Do Plugged Virgos sound better?
Ever try some bass traps? In the corners? 
Recommendations for Balanced Interconnect...
Hey Peter, good choice on preamps! I'll 2nd the transparent recommendation. I'd go with the balanced version. I'd describe it exactly along your desires. Good Luck. 
Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Sign me up as well. Also, I'd be happy to chip in to help cover the cost. Maybe you could "rent" it to everyone along the way. Of course, we'll take your charity to :). 
Any Tube Int. Amps w/ a phono built in?
Bat vk300 has optional phono input 
kef 104/2 or Thiel 2.3
Those 104/2's are pretty awesome sounding speakers for the money. If you can find them on the cheap, I'd recommend them. Check on the age though, make sure the surrounds etc haven't detoriated with age. Also, didn't they make a small electronic cr... 
Probem with BAT preamp & Joule amp component mix
Better call BAT on this. I have a vk50se and vk75se. when i mute and or turn the volume to zero I get a pop, but it's low in level and pretty harmless. Sounds like your joule amp doesn't like something your pre is doing.Sorry can't help more... 
what amp would maximize wilson sophias
One good choice that's reasonable (well, you know) is BAT's integrated amp. Get one of the tube input stages, and you have quite a front to go with your Cary. This is less than your request for 300 watts, but the quality of the power and the pream... 
Amp for Wilson Watt Puppy 7
I'm using a single BAT VK-75SE with WP 6's. Sounds pretty great to me, and I've heard plenty of good systems. I like tube amps with the WP's.So yes, lower powered amps can do the job, besides the big solid state amps. Not sure If I would go much l... 
Wadia 860 not ressponding to remote...Ideas?
My Wadia 850 was very sensitive to the direction of which the remote was pointed. Try is pointing directly at the player, if it works, then gradually move it away. When I called the factory, this was a "feature."
