Speaker cables for Roman Audio Centurians??
I use Kimber Select 3035's with my Centurions and AZ Satori's on my Roman Audio Senators. The Satori's sound good on the Centurions, but comparing them to the 3035's, they leave alot to be desired. 
DH labs q-10?
I bought some of the Q-10 to put in my son's 2 channel set up. Before I put it in his system, I spent some time doing an A-B with Kimber 8tc. I found the Q-10 to be a more open sounding cable. I also preferred the Q-10 in low end reproduction, it ... 
Antique Sound Labs Wave
I just bought the last pair that came up on Audiogon, very impressive little amps. My wife says they're "cute". 
what speakers for 40 watt triode?
When I first heard the Roman Audio Centurions, they were being run with an SLI-80. It's a very impressive combination. 
What would one replace Nordost Valhalla with??
Try the Kimber Select 3035's. 
need input about speaker & interconnect cables
For your speaker cables, I would suggest trying Kimber Select 3035's. As far as interconnects go, I use Straightwire Crescendo's and am very pleased with them. 
Anyone running Cary 306/200 CDP directly to Amps?
It may, I'm not too sure. I would be best to consult your owner's manual or call the manufacturer to find out.

I would consider a used Cal Audio CL-15, then take the extra cash and put it towards some nice cables. 
Anthem MCA-5 Series II vs. Rotel RMB-1075
I used to run an Anthem MCA 2 in my 2 channel, no experience with Rotel, which is a really nice amp at that price point. I would say tht you would be really pleaed with the Anthem for a HT set-up. 
Anyone running Cary 306/200 CDP directly to Amps?
I don't run a Cary 306, but I do have a Cal Audio CL-15 which has the variable output like the Cary. I have found that I prefer running a tubed pre-amp. The pre-amp takes out some of the harshness and makes it more pleasurable to listen. (Cal Audi... 
Replacing Sovtek 6922 for NOS
I changed the tubes in my Cary pre-amp (SLP-50B) and installed a pair of NOS Tesla/JJ 6922's purchased here on Audiogon. I was pretty upset when I blew a Sovtek 6922 that was less than a month old. The JJ's gave my pre-amp a little warmer and natu... 
Newbie needs cabling HELP.
I like the Straightwire IC's, and you can find a good deal on some Tara Labs speaker cables every now and then. I also recommend that you try upgrading you power cable it can make a HUGE difference. 
Looking for a digital front end...
I own a Cal Audio CL-15 and have been very pleased with it's performance. You can pick one up used here on Audiogon for about $650. It has a variable output so that you can plug it directly into the amp. I found that to be useful when I was in the...
