Bottlehead Seduction and tube rolling help

Hi all,

I just purchased a bottlehead seduction phono preamp. I think that the amp is fine but that I need to do some tube rolling before things start to work for me in my system. Currently, I find the tubes to be not very detailed or transparent. The current tubes are some kind of made in holland generic tube. I've also tried some russian 6922s. What tube would bring more detail and transparency.

thanks

Thanks for the advice

This is a used unit and is broken in. I previously used the phono on an audible illusions 3a. This unit was touted as being in the same ballpark. Although the sound stage is good. The presentation is simple boring. I completely is lacking in dynamics and transparency. So I am looking for a tube that can emphasize these two aspects through out the spectrum.

thanks

A follow up question is ... have other found their seductions this way? I don't really want to buy - sell and audition many different tubes. What tube will get me there the fastest to avoid the process of rolling tubes for months and months.

thanks
