Audible Illusion L1 / M3A, which tubes ?

Hi any owner of this nice Pre-amp who has tried different tubes? I'm just using EH6922 now and wondering if other tubes would match better and give me good improvement? Do I have to go to those more expensive Mullard etc. or anyone know of good tubes that match well with this?

BTW, I heard people say sovtek but chance of finding good match pair is 50/50... how does one find a good pair? any reliable on-line store out there?

Thanks, Tom.

Keep away from the Mullard re-issues. I didn't find them nearly as nice as the originals.

Also remember that a good 6DJ8 will last around 10,000 hours. So if you consider a $100 investment, it's only pennies per month to use.
