Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super
Might also try Agon member Trelja if you are interested in the Black Treasures or Psvane - Joe is very knowledgeable and reliable, and offers great pricing (speaking as a satisfied tube customer) 
Rogue Cronus Magnum preamp tube
I'd suggest emailing Mark or Nick at Rogue and asking, they are excellent in responding to questions. Also, if my old man memory is working I think there was a thread sometime back that may actually contain a recommendation that Mark had made, tho... 
What do you like in an inexpensive tube integrated
Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 90 wpc - USA built, excellent customer service if needed, or simply for asking questions 
How to pick a tubed integrated without hearing one
What speakers and other equipment do you presently have? In the interim, I can easily go along with the recommendation of Rogue, however the Cronus Magnum is 90 wpcs and might be a bit much for your room size versus the base Cronus at 55wpc. Regar...

Wig in what way(s)? 
ModWright KWA 100
My experience this far with the KWA100 SE is that it has tight, fast bass with punch 
Modwright 100 - Specail Editon
This is my 1st foray into separates - purchased the Modwright LS100 preamp and the KWA100 SE power amp. Rather than install the new issue Sovtek GZ34 & EH 6sn7s that came with the LS100, I went with NOS Sylvania GZ34, and Shuguang Black Treasu... 
Ayon Spirit-1 compared to Ayon Orion
Reynolds853 - in the event you haven't come across this review of the Orion with comments about the Spirit 1http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue50/ayon_orion.htm 
Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend?
Realize you're looking for Spirit 3 versus 2 owners input, but what the heck here's some info anywayHave the Spirit 2 with Black Treasure KT88s (like the 3), and also have NOS RCA black plates in 2 rear 12au7 positions and NOS CIFTE Mazdas in the ... 
Ayon Spirit-1 compared to Ayon Orion
I have the Spirit 2 , the amp is extremely well built, no mechanical issues , and very musical. Reynolds853, I'm guessing the Orion comes with Gold Lion Reissue KT88s, the Spirit 2 did; the Spirit 3 comes with Shuguang Black Treasures. The Gold Li... 
Your thoughts on these different tubes?..
I've had a Rogue Cronus Magnum with the EH KT90 to my ears a transparent tube with good definition top to bottom. For me the best new issue KT88 is the Shuguang Black Treasure - dynamic with punch and excellent across the frequency range. Likewise... 
Getting started w/ tube equipment
A U.S. built integrated - Rogue Audio Cronus - base model using EL34s 55wpc, or Magnum model ($400 more) 90wpc - using KT 90s - easy to bias, musical, well built, excellent customer service. Also, with socket savers you can use KT 88s or KT120sSet... 
Tube amp stopped working
did you put the el34s back in and have the same problem? 
Reflections of another year in Audio
My 15 year old son said to me sarcastically about 2 months ago, what's going on you haven't bought any hi-fi equipment recently; I responded that I was very content with what I had. But with not knowing what to buy myself for Christmas I decided i... 
Primaluna Prologue Two
Take this for what it is worth as I don't have your amp - to my ears the Gold Lion KT88s in yours are more musical than other new issues with the exception of Shuguang Black Treasures - more dynamics (have had both in my Ayon Spirit)For 12ax7s mig...
