For Nordost Valhalla???? I would get certainly used tubed output CD player BAT VK D5 or Cary 303/200 or SS Meridian 524...
Rega players have never been worm even turntables.
As to speakers My choise would certainly fall onto Tannoy Definition series. All of them are excellent for the every pence or penny they cost.

Please don't chase your tail. You should not use cables as tone controls. If your system is brght and dry--its the amps-speakers, if your system is rolled off and dark--its the amps-speakers. Cables only slightly enhance or diminish your amp-speakers. I suggest going to tube amps and high efficient speakers if you want more space and liquidity.

Thanks guys for your input.I think that replacing the speakers is the next best move for my system.I am looking at a friends VAC 80/80 stereo tube amp that he wants to sell. This is fun and expensive,with emphasis on fun!

Johnny, I have to agree with Breuninger, he knows what he's talking about. I tried the same thing, and it doesn't work... I did what you are trying, TUBES. This will solve most of your problems.
