NOS Tubes For VAC Renaissance Mk III
Or, if you don't want to take risk on NOS tubes and if they are really new, try the top quality choice of Psvane. I am very pleased with the 12AU7's and KT-88 power tubes and a friend re tubed his phono with 12XA7's and finds them very quiet and v... 
Magico Q7 . . . wow
Vanderstein's are very musical and Richard is one of the absolute nicest guys I have ever met in the business; so humble and kind; like Jeff Rowland and especially Kevin Hayes at VAC!

Has anyone actually bought a Zesto Phono preamp?

Exceptional value in speakers today?
