Tube Rolling on BAT Preamplifiers

What is the best 6H30 tube to use in my BAT VK52SE preamplifier? I'm using the stock tubes that come with the line stage but am interested in seeking out the best 6H30 tube to get the best performance. .

I started a similar thread a couple weeks ago in this section simply titled "6H30" if you want to refer to that. I am going to be picking up 2 pairs of the 6H30-DR tube for my VK-31SE from Conus Audio (highly recommended). It is to my understanding that BAT no longer uses the NOS 6H30 in any of their pre-amps with the exception of the $18K Rex. You can purchase the NOS tube (considered to be the nes plus ulta of the 6H30) from BAT for approx $300/each!. Since your pre requires 6 tubes, that would be quite a financial committment.

See below: 01-22-08: Airshop Victor is currently using the NOS tubes only in the REX, all other preamps are using the new production tubes. Airshop (Answers)
