Buying NOS can drive you a little crazy. I have learned to live with (and enjoy) the sound of current tubes in my ARC preamp (an LS7). I'm using the Electro-Harmonix 6922, available at many dealers (I like www.tubedepot.com). Some folks in Tube Asylum also have kind words for the current JJ/Tesla. These don't cost a lot compared to vintage Amperex or Siemens. Of course they don't have any audiophile cachet, but I can live without that. In my system, the EH's sound darned good. Maybe worth a try for you as well.

I have put RAM super low noise tubes in every component I have had that used 6922 tubes. They are absolutly dead quiet.

If you can find some, try a matched set of the late 60's, Telefunken e88cc..
