I know you have a number of responses that support leaving the stock tubes in the unit and I caution against trying to find "better" tubes. I tried some fancy Amperex 6922s, some RCA 6DJ8s and some supposedly phenomenal Seimens 7308s. None had the snap and explosive drive the original K&Ks had. Soundstage became recessed and too syrupy I put in a replacement set from Kevin as well as some rocket logo versions for when these wear out. I play music through them every single day for a couple of hours for a couple of years now. Not the quietest tube in the stable but the sound is head and shoulders above the fancy-pants tubes IMHO
