Just ordered Rogue 99 and M150

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I posted this in amp/preamp asylum with little response, so I am trying here among you tube-o-philes.
I just ordered the Rogue Magnum 99 and M150 monoblocks. This will be my first all tube system and first tube amp. My speakers are AP Virgo III. Given where I live, I was not able to audition this combination in my home. However, Mark OBrien at Rogue told me that they own several pairs of Virgos and that speaker was one of the speakers they used to voice their gear.
I was wondering what experience others have had with this combination, especially with AP Virgos. Any thing I should know about break-in or tweaking the preamp and amps? What have you found about power cords, power conditioners, etc? Any advice on which cables and interconnects match the best?
Thanks. Going to tube monoblocks is going to be a new experience for me and I am just trying to get as much information ahead of time as possible.
Thanks,
