Best tubes for phono-stage?


Both I and a friend had our Audio Research SP-15's(w/3 tube phono-stage)updated by Great Northern Sound.The update turned out to be incredibly successful,and,worth every penny!We have tried low noise TELE cca(TOO thin sounding),a few crappy Chinese &Russian types,Very good 7308 Amperex U.S.(non PQ)>My friend settled on BRITISH Mullard(GOLD PINS)and I on EDISWAN 5358 very low noise types.The results are fine,but should I still consider stuff like Other Amperex(PQ etc.)Bugle boy,maybe SIEMENS?Thought I knew a good amount here,but Obviously I do not.Really would appreciate feedback!

If they used neutral caps, I'd get some 6DJ8 BB's. In a good circuit, they are pretty hot sounding. They are not too far off from the 7308's, but they are better sounding IMO. I am not sure I have ever heard Ediswan's though, they have a good rep, but it seems a lot of impossible to get tubes do, so who knows what is true if you cannot get them to try?
Go with the Amperex orange globe 6dj8's if you can't buy the telefunken e188cc's.
