Thoughts on AES DJH signature preamp

I am in the process of purchasing either new or used a AES DJH preamp. It will be mated to SS Mono amps. I have thought of changing tubes to TungSols or Pope Phillips Hollands.
The preamp will be plugged into a dedicated circuit along with my mono amps.Any thoughts on suggested power cords and tubes would be appreciated. Music preference: classic rock, all kinds of jazz and female vocals..Satisfied or dissatified AES owners please chime in.
Thanks

I auditioned the heck out of one of these against an Eastern Electric MiniMax, and an Audible Illusions 3A (used, of course) and I bought the Minimax, which I'm still in love with. Sweet and slam in one package - it's a great preamp! The AES sounded lush, but slower and mushier, to me. Now running Nuforce Ref 9s for power, and couldn't be happier! Check it out before you buy, if you can.
Cheers!
