Rogue Audio Cronus 12AU7-12AX7 tubes choices


I own a Rogue Audio Cronus amplifier since two weeks and I want to upgrade the preamplifier section tubes which are 12AX7 and 12AU7.

First, I'm wondering the fonction of each tube. I don't want to replace the one for the phono section if it is so because I don't use this phono. What are the fonctions of each preamplifier tubes on the Cronus?

Second, I'm looking for a musical, engaging and well balance sound. What are your tubes suggestions?

I have the Cronus Magnum version which allows for KT 90s - the amp came Sylvanis in both the 12ax and au positions, switched the 12ax to Tungsol 5751s and the 12 aus to RFTs which to me sound similar to some RCAs I have. These added a little more warmth that I was after.
