Tube for aesthetix pandora / romulus


Hello,

I own an aesthetix pandora dac and i am thinking of upgrading its tubes:
- 2 E83CCS or 12AX7
- 2 6922 (6DJ8)

I have been advised to get mullard, siemens or telefunken nos valves

I don't know anything about tubes...

Would you have recommendation? Advises? Tips? Good tubes sellers?

Thanks and regards
G.

A no brainer choice would be Phillips (Haarleen plant) ECC83--ie 12ax7 European equivalent. Look for the Delta codes from the early 1960s. Google and you will find all the background you need to know. They will beat the Mullards. Thank me later.
Dont knock em till you try them. Phillips Delta codes 1960 and up to about 69.
BTW, I dont really like high gain ECC83 in Dacs, but hey...much prefer 81s and 82s.
