BAT VK31 owner where are you?

Recently, I just bough a used Bat VK31 from another A'goner. It came with 6 Russia 6h23n tubes in it. The sound came out ok but would love to know what other tubes out there would made this pre sound better and where I can I find it. So far, I did contact Bret Jesse and he recommend me to look at some of the NOS 6ns7 from his website. What are your though? All recommend and suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Joman, I am looking at the "bugle boy" , now. What do you think? I also like those amperex 6922 pq white lable, too but they are too expensive.

Audionuts, the white labels are on par with the Orange globe. I liked them as well. The expense was prohibitive for me. The Bugle Boys are a nice tube but I never rolled them into the 31. When I plugged the 7308 Orange Globes in I never changed.

I put my eyes on those amperex 6922 and 7308 now. The only down side of this preamplifier is I have to change 6 tubes at once and it is quiet expensive. Time to save some money now.
