Hi gunners01
I have an amp that uses a similar tube compliment. This is what I have done. And it made a Significant Difference!
Perhaps it can help you in your search towards refining your sound.
On the Line Magnetic Website:

They include this helpful info:
Tubes Basics Common Replacements
12AX7 12AX7EH, ECC83, E83CC, CV4004, ECC803, 5751
12AU7 ECC82, 12AU7EH, 5814, 6189, CV4003
6SN7 6NP8, 6H8C, 6H8M, 6F8G, CV181, QB65, ECC32
As others have mentioned, I too have used Brent Jessee as a resource to educate myself on the differences -

For the 12AX7/AU7 - I have tried Telefunken, Mullards, Heath, Mazda and Siemens.
Currently I have been very pleased with..
2EA. 13D5 /12AU7 Brimar longplates and 1EA. E83CC Siemens
This combination has the right amount of detail and musicality for me. Increased the depth of the soundstage, fleshed out details in midrange.
Although I find that the Telefunkens are the most detailed, they seem too focused on the upper end, and conversely the Mullards can be too sweet sounding and not capturing the same details in the midrange.
I do not use the
6SN7
Tube, but If I did, I would be inclined to look towards RCA, Westinghouse or GE.
On the Line Magnetic Website they state:
Tubes we choose are.... and Tung-sol KT150
The KT 150s are expensive so perhaps start off rolling the signal and driver tubes, and then move to the KT150s or see if LM would give you a break on a set of replacement KT150s.
Every bit counts, so replacing stock fuses and power chords do help.
I have been happy with Isoclean Audio Grade Fuses

Power chords is subjective - cable company has a lending library
