Best sounding tube for Audible Illusions M3A preamp?


I am interest in learning what folks are using as the best tube for preamps, specifically, the Audible Illusions Modulus 3A. (My AI M3A also has a Gold phono stage card, but that is purely solid state). I have reviewed nearly all the tube roller-specific forum threads here, which are spread overĀ  several topic areas. I have also reviewed another thread located elsewhere (https://www.head-fi.org/threads/6922-tube-review-17-top-6922-6n23p-e88cc-cca-7308-e188cc-tubes.76107...). I know that AI recommends the 6H23n tube for the M3A. So please let me know your thoughts about this tube and whether you can recommend a particular brand of the tube and commercial online supplier. I would also appreciate your view of alternative tubes (including brands and online suppliers), should you recommend something other than a 6H23n tube for the AI M3A.

I've had my 3A since they came out, and Telefunken sounds good, and they have lasted.

Accidentally found this old thread and I want to share my experience with AI Modulus.
My preamp keeps tubes warmed up in stand by mode, so I always unplug it when I don't use it and it obviously extends tube life. I plug it in 5 min before use and it sounds amazing.
