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...

Ayon Spirit 2 tube integrated with Black Treasure KT88s; Modwright LS100 preamp & KWASE power amp 
Tube favorites for Modwright LS100?
I have about 100 hours on the LS100 which I understand requires at least 400 hours of break-in to reach their intended sound. Have liked the sound of the NOS Tungsol and Sylvania as they and the amp have been working themselves in, but decided to ... 
Upgrade from Jolida 302B A Rogue Cronus ?
Haven't heard the Jolida so can't compare for you, will simply state that until recently I had a Cronus Magnum 90 wpc versus the base model 55 wpc with the same speakers, good synergy. Just some other fyiMagnum comes with KT90,s but can use the EL... 
Signal Cable - MagicPower Power Cord - need info

Tube favorites for Modwright LS100?
I just received my LS100 installed NOS 1963 Tungsol 6sn7 and a NOS Sylvania GZ34. Down the road I'll try the BTs (have a quad of BT KT88s in my Ayon Spirit and really enjoy them) or the Sophias
