Dk Design VS-1 mkII what tubes are you using??


I am hoping to get advice from current owners of the DK Design VS-1 mkII integrated amplifier on which nos tubes are sounding best. I will be purchasing tubes in the next few days and would love to know specific experiences from my audiogon friends. If you let me know who you purchased the tubes from that would be very helpful also. Thanks and can't wait to start tube rolling for the first time.

As a follow up, last night I was listening to a wide variety of music on the DK unit.
This Integrated,(I almost feel blasphemous calling such a precision piece integrated, as if it somehow diminishes its performance)--makes music fun again.
It does not 'clarify' things...it does not give 'more slam' it does not give any of the prototypical audiophile descriptions of performance, it just works, and better than my list of well knowns, Krell, Mac, Ayre, AR, cj, (sorry Bill and Lew), et. al.
All bets are off. At $3K don't hesitate; it has the power in my thousands of cubic feet room to fill it with sound, and it's music.
Peter Cincotti, Rod Stewart, the movie D'Lovely, are all rendered wonderfully, and in a way I thought had been lost in some ways, with all the techno babble, and advancements, we're back to the basics. It just sounds right.
Good to know, mine should be here next week, I have some PW amperex e88cc's to try.
I replaced the Amperex 7308 us orange globe gold pin tubes I have been using with nos Siemens CCa 6922. The CCa tubes are as stated by many more before me, amazing. I hear a sweetness to vocals that makes me listen to many songs over and over. The bass is also incredible. I am still considering Amperex pinched waist down the road but for now enough audiophile madness. I am going to be spending my time listening and buying some new music instead of worrying about changing gear or tubes. Thanks to everyone as always.
Tube evaluation for DK Design from Jay of Audio Revelation a dealer for DK. This is the second time I've ever posted please go easy on me if you don't find this appropiate. I very rarely get here to read, just looking around and saw the question.

Note: I don’t sell tubes, this is just my listening experience. I’m not a tube expert by a long shot. Please don't ask me tube questions, I'm dumber than I look about tubes. I personally use Jim Sautter at Absolute tubes: j.sautter@mchsi.com

So:

The stock chinese tubes are pretty good, give them a 'C' as a reference point.

National 6922s ($80 cost me)
Overall a 'B'
very good, great clarity, a bit bright, not a lot of magic

Amperex 6DJ8 'D-' (cost $120) (Green boxed)
Cloudy maybe just a bad set

Telefunkin branded, but really Amperex 6DJ8s. (cost $125) But whatever they are it’s a 'A+'
Really nice, big full sound, ambient, impactful, dramatic, 'right sounding', lots of tube magic, clear and clean but not the greatest resolution but still plenty good, musical not hifi sound - (A friend found these to be too tuby and prefers the Westinghouse below – I can easily understand his preference and no doubt others would agree)

Westinghouse’s 6DJ8 made by Matsushita from 79 vintage 'B+' ($60 pr my cost)
bit leaner than above tele's better resolution, not as magical for me though. Very close to National but a bit more natural and listenable, just lacking that special tube magic

Westinghouse 6DJ8 made by Matsushita from 81-86 vintage 'A' ($60 pr my cost)
closer in sound to Tele's, dynamic, rich, very, very good, not as clear as 79' Westinghouse or Nationals but a really great way to go.

Good luck, Jay
