NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II

Looking for some suggestions replacing the stock tubes. I want a little more transparency or pop yet retaining overall smoothness and good bass. I want to start with the 12AX7's and the 6SN7's first. I was told the Sylvania 6SN7 GTB would be a good one but there are several versions so I am a little confused. Also the same with the 12AX7 what is a good value without breaking the bank.

I agree totally about the 5751's. They made quite a difference over the stock 12AX7's. More clarity and focus. I do have some RCA clear tops that I will put in sometime soon for comparison. As far as the 6SN7's I bought the NOS Sylvania GTB tall bottle and things improved more in fact much more. I also ordered from Andy at Vintage Tubes some NOS Sylvania GTA chrome tops so can't wait to get those. These particular tubes are suppossed to be very close to the Bad Boy and 6SN7W's from what I was told.

I bought some used Sylvania 5751 Black Plates.I will definitely try to find some NOS,if they haven't been priced to ridiculous costs.I'm still not sure if I like them better than the NOS Amperex 7025.Time will tell.
