Another vote for Charney.  I have been by his place a couple times for a demo and they are special.  I have BD-Design and love them but the Charney will be in my 2nd system... soon.  FYI, I very much like the Voxative driver Charney uses. 
Grover Huffman Cables
I'm not a heavy hitter and have purchased cables from Grover twice in the last year with no issues.  He is always prompt with response and information. 
Tube pre w/ HT bypass?
Look for a Sonic Frontiers Line-1, or Line-2, or Line-3.  Oldie but gooooodie!  I have a Line-2 that I use in my HT hybrid system just for this feature.
