Looking for brighter tubes

Attention tube heads: I'm looking for brighter (more treble...not higher amounts of glow and chrome) tubes, if they exist. My amp (Jolida JD502P) has a well regarded bunch of Russian Tung Sol 6550s and 12AX7/12AT7s but I'm wondering if there's anything out there that imparts more sizzle in this amp. I do like the amp as it is...but hey..."rolling rolling rolling, keep them tubeys rolling...

You should consider changing the four.22uf coupling capacitors and the two .47 capacitors. They are made in China by CBB and they are dirt cheap. That is why they use them. Not for their sound. Good for their price but easily outdone.

Siemens E81CC or ECC81 have nice extension.
