Audio Research, What tubes work best in Pre-amp


I am currently trying to find out what the best tubes to use in my LS7 would be, Whether NOS or some new type. I Want Huge SOUNDSTAGE with lots of AIR and The best possible Low Freq. Bass authority and control. I know thats a lot to ask from the tube but any Ideas please let me know. The stock tubes(which I am happy with)are 6922 dual triodes, however I would like to see how much more this piece can do so that is why I am looking. And The reason the bass is very important is that I am primarily running analog from phono so obviously the source input is low and causes a slight leaness to the sound at low volume levels. I dont know much about tubes so please tell me ones that fit with no MODIFICATIONS so I do not damage anything, Also are Tube Dampers Suggested and what type? Please tell me where to buy as well and Thanks.

I have an ARC LS7 powered by aB&K EX-442 200 w dual mono I thought about Mullard or some NOS tubes. Try some the Tube .coms let me know what you find. Whats your amp try solid state power. What speakers do you use?
