Best tubes for Jolida 1501 RC?


Just took the plunge for a Jolida 1501 RC integrated to match with my Klipsch speakers. It hasn't arrived but does have the stock tubes in the pre-amp section. What do you fellow 'Goners recommend for tubes? I understand the stock Chinese tubes aren't the best. My musical tastes are electric blues with some classic rock ( Tull, Moody Blues etc). Any and all suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

If you can get the tube 8417 any brand,will make a big difference and outperform any 7AC base socket.
