best 6dj8 tubes for AR sp9mkII???

hi! I'm in the process of replaceing the old tubes from a
SP9mkII that I've bought second hand. I assume that both
are the same 6dj8, as the model is still readable only on the Red Dragon ones. Opinions about what replacement would be better and were to buy it would be highly appreciated.

Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio receommended a Sovtek NOS that were supposedly made in Russia in 1970's. See http://www.upscaleaudio.com/ for details. I bought a couple from him for my SP9 II and am happy with it. Much improved over the Philips JAN tubes I had.

I agree with Vtvu. I have used the Sovtek NOS 6922 (6H23) from Upscale in my ARC LS25 with stunning results. The actual designation for this tube is 6H23.
