kt 88 vs kt88
GL Re-issues - have them in my Ayon Spirit 2, better all round sound that SED KT88 in this amp 
cable recommendations
Suggest checking out Clear Day Cables - very reasonably priced and amazingly good sound - no emphasis on one spectrum over another - much better than Signal Cable Ultra Bi Wires I had and enjoyed - 30 day monet back guarantee - I am not affiliated... 
Ayon - Integrated Amps
I went ahead and purchased the amp a few months back and have found biasing, as you both note above, easy and not frequently necessary. 
The Big Ayon Triton KT-88 Int Amp- tube rolling?
Sutts, I have The Spirit 2 , but am using the RCA 12 au'7s and like them very much with the amp. Also I tried SED KT 88s will I was buring in some new speakers, but much prefer the Gold Lion's in this ampDavid 2, I've had my Ayon Spirit 2 for seve... 
Review: Tyler Acoustics D3 Speaker
I'd say the main differences are the System2s are a little warmer than the D3s- D3s aren't bright just slightly more forward, and the 2s go little lower in the bass - to me the mid's and hi's are similar thoughdriven by different drivers . Both to... 
Prima Luna Dialogue 2 or Cayin A100?
Why don't you give Kevin Deal a call at Upscale Audio to see what he may suggest - doesn't the amp come with Genelex Gold Lion Reissue KT88s - everyone's ears are different but with my amp (Ayon Spirit 2 ) they seem the most balanced - might want ... 
Review: Tyler Acoustics D3 Speaker
Just swapped out my Signal Cable Ultra bi-wire with Clear Day Cable single run shotgun w/ their jumpers - WOW great combination! 
Has anyone tried Clear Day Cables?
I just hooked up Clear Day shotguns with Paul's jumpers as well.I wasn't expecting too much out of the box since he told me to give the cables 150 hours to break in due ot my long run lengths. All I can say is WOW, if that is the case I can't wait... 
int-amp for Paradigm Studio-20s?
SS - portal panache - very musical integrated 100 wpc 
Review: Tyler Acoustics D3 Speaker
Lost count of how many hours I have on the D3s now, but expect closer to 200 hours. The speakers are presenting well across the frequency range - the bass, which seems to take longer to break-in, has definitely caught up to the mid's and hi's. I l...

Review: Tyler Acoustics D3 Speaker
Jp - still working them in, haven't hit the 200 hour mark yet but am pleased with their musicality. Find them to be like my other Tylers - enjoyable amd non-fatiguing to listen to. To me, Tyler's are better than their price point. Will post more a... 
12ax7's to roll
I liked the Sylvanias in my Magnum, but swapped the 12ax7s out for Tungsol 5751s and the 12 au7s with RFTs (similiar in sound to RCAs to my ears) overall a little warmer sound than the Sylvania's . Here's a link to Brent Jesse's 12ax7 &12 au7 ... 
what do you use to remove your tubes?
white GloveTubes I've used on my Cronus Magnum - it came with Sylvania's from Rogue when I purchased the unit - liked the sound. I swapped them after awhile to try RFT (similiar in sound to my ears as RCAs) Au7s and NOS tungsol AX7s - this pairing...
