Best Integrated Under $3000
If you want a tube integrated amp suggest the Rogue Audio Cronus , the Magnum (upgraded) version - direct from Rogue. 
NOS 12AU7s with Ayon amps
Thanks guys, I also have a Rogue Cronus Magnum , it came with Sylvania & I have Siemens in it now - different presentations but I like it with either. Will experiement per normal. 
new kt 90s any good ?
I have the Rogue Cronus Magnum which comes with the EH KT90s - I haven't heard any other KT 90s so I can't offer a comparison, but they sound fine with the NOS tubes I have in the front end. Magnum, if the above reference is to new issue Gold Lion...

Thanks guys, PS I wasn't being skeptical was really just curious about the 8 tubes versus 4 tubes. Trelja, may Iask what speakers you drive with these amps? I have Tyler Linbrook System 2s 89db 8 ohm 
Listening china.. any xindak, shengya experiences?
Absolute Sound and others are very complementary of Audio Space gear (article on their Reference 300B amp in current issue) - other reviews on line as well - there's some Agon user here with it who seem happy as well - based out of Hong Kong 
Good $250 Power Cord
Audio Art Cables PC - found it to make an audible difference to my ears than PS Audio, Signal Cable 
EL34 differences in air & stage depth?
I don't use EL34s but since they were mentioned above - Upscale Audio has Siemens NOS ELs for $55 per tube - including matching - might want to take a look 
Budget CDP: Cambridge 640c, Marantz CD5003, what?
Marantz CD5003 - pretty nice sounding across the spectrum - wouldn't characrterize it as 'lean' in either department 
Devore Super 8s vs Acoustic Zen Adagios
I haven't heard either of the two that you are entertaining, but to your last question you might want to consider Tyler Acoustic D3s or D2s - I have the Linbrook System2s and Taylo 7Us which Ty recently dropped with the introduction of his Decade ... 
Tyler Acoustics Loudspeakers
I haven't heard the speakers you've had and frankly am not good at the audiophilize sound descriptions - what I can say is that I purchased both the Linbrook System 2s and Taylo 7Us, which Ty discontinued in favor of his new Decade line, without h... 
What speakers match well with my Plinius 8200mk2?
It presents music very nicely with Tyler Acoustic speakers - using it presently with Ty's Taylo 7Us, but also have used it with his Linbrook System 2s 
Tyler U7?
I have the 7Us in my 2nd system 22X23 room with 9ft ceilings - drive them with a Plinius 8200 MK2 -very good sounding speakers; are the D3s better, I'dask Ty he's a straight shooter and let you know if there's a significant difference or not 
Rogue Audio Cronus ...what speakers do you love ?
Tyler Linbrook System 2s. If I change speakers it might be Tyler's new Decade D2 or Adagios
