Uber quiet tubes for C2300 pre


I am replacing the tubes in my McIntosh c2300 pre and want super quiet tubes for the MC phono stage and mains. I don't mind NOS if necessary.
Any opinions???

Thanks for responding,

Jgiacalo...I will look in to the Walker SST as I am really trying to lower the noise floor on the MC phono section.

Rodman...where are you getting the tested and guaranteed Telefunkens from? I don't necessarily need added warmth--a more detailed/precise tube is preferred. I mostly want dead quiet! What benefits do you hear from using the SST or Xtream?

BTW--I am using VPI Aries 3 with Lyra Argo i cartridge and XLO Reference3 phono cable--if that helps any.

Thanks Rodman...both of those links were helpful
Nsgarch...i will read up on the 5751. It looks like there is about 30% less gain with this tube--hence the quiet.
