cayinA100 T tube amp
From what I have read in reviews, the amp in the 88T and 100T are very very good. I recommend what Detredwings said and roll some tubes 1st. If you still are not satisfied then go with a preamp. 
Rogue M-150 upgrade to M-180 Questions
Out of curiosity what did he say?

Have you talked to Mark at Rogue? 
NuForce vs Bel Canto
Class D amps over time tend to get uninvolving and dry for my tastes. I have heard NuForce at my buddies house and he didn't keep them long. I have not heard the latest NuForce offerings. I heard Bel Canto at another buddies and liked them much be... 
Mark Levinson 326S with Nelco board
My skeptic self would say costs as with most anything else. 
Rogue Audio 99 or CJ Classic Preamp?
I would stick with Rogue. You have a nice system so what is $600 difference? I have not heard that particular CJ preamp but the older ones tend to be really tubey sounding or syrupy. Not my cup of tea unless its yours. Also the Rogue is a tube rol... 
what amp will match well with Tyler acoustics
I would try some Rogue mono's like the 150 or 180. Rogue sounds very good with Tylers. 
5751 tubes and Rogue Tempest?
That's what it sounds like. Mark didn't mention it but was quick to suggest replacing the KT-88's. I think I do remember Kevin Deal talking about the KT-88's on his website.

Davvie has a good point. Ty used to use a Jolida 300b on his Woodmeres. He even used it at a show a few years ago. How large is your room? 
Best Overall Value in a KT-88 tube
I would say the Electro Harmonix is a nice "value"$$$ What is your budget? From my understanding the Gold Lions are very good tubes but do not have the best reliabilty so does that make them a good value? I have not heard a GL but they get really ... 
Best tweak - System Improvement
My Running Springs Audio Haley and some isolation pads I placed under the CD player have been very good tweaks. 
5751 tubes and Rogue Tempest?
Thats ok I appreciate you letting me know. I talked to Mark and he suggested the KT-90's in place of the stock tubes so I ordered a quad. He matches and burns them in before shipping. My Tempest II came with 2 sets of quad EH KT-88's and I have no... 
Prima Luna ProLouge 7 or Jolida JD-1000P
I probably would go with the PL simply because of the lawsuits that are going on now at Jolida. It is a shame because Jolida makes great gear for the money. Who knows what kind of hit Jolida is going to take on resale. Maybe they will maybe they w... 
Best U.S. made integrated tube amp under $2500?
The Rogue Audio Tempest II is no slouch. It is basically a Stereo 90 amp with a passive pre.

A local buddy uses Siltech G3 and G5's with good luck.
