EL34 Tubes for Conrad-Johnson MV-55

I was wondering if someone could reccommend some EL34 tubes for a MV-55. I'm currently using Electo-Harmonix but I'm not to crazy about them. The highs are a little too much. Also any reccommendations on the 12AX7 and 6SN7 would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Hi,

This is what I like for the MV55:

1) Mullard Long plate 12AX7
Sylvania 6SN7W short bottle

2) GE 5751 tri mica
STC Brimar CV1988 black glass

3) Amperex Bugle Boy 12AX7
RCA VT-231

I'm using JJ E34L blue glass. Tube rolling the 12AX7 and the 6SN7 changes the sound more than the EL34. I prefer the JJ E34L to Svetlana for a more airy and less harsh highs.

Regards
