Each brand will 'tailor' the sound somewhat.
Amperex is a nice overall tube, but there are those made in Holland, USA, Japan,etc; they will all have their own characteristics...which makes tube rolling fun.
Some tubes will give a warmer sound, some leaner.
Don't forget the 7308 tubes, which usually provide better highs but not quite as strong bass compared to 6DJ8/6922 tubes.
If you search around you can still find good deals.
