Favorite nos tube?

With the recent best of threads I decided to do one on tubes. I know there's alot of us out there so let's here from ya. Strangly I replaced my Amprex Bugle Boy 6dj8 for the Sovtek 6922 reflectors. The sovtek just seemed to sound a lot crisper and detailed to me. I have not tried any other nos tubes so your input will help me and others who will be tube rolling in the future.

Detlof, you use Teles for the MC stage (6DJ8s) as well? Those are the ones I have to keep replacing, and the Amperex are hard to find.

Telefunken E88CC for rich tubey sound
Siemens 1960's E188CC for silky transparent and full spectrum sound

Eggpower: Is the E188CC a drop in replacement for a 6922 circut? I am not familiar with this tube.

Thanks Egg: I just picked up a couple of Amperex/USN White label 7308/E188cc tubes the other day. My amps is still in the shop, so I will just have to gawk at them for the time being (just like little babies in the nursury:-)
