Aesthetix Calypso, Tuberolling questions?

What results have owners of this preamp had with different tubes used. I'm running stock tubes into a pr. of Parasound JC-1 mono blocks now and the sound is very good. Would like to open up the treble a little if possible without messing up other areas. Any info on what people have tried and to what results would be of great help. Thank you

Perfectionist:

Please describe the characteristics of the GE tubes in comparrison to the others when in your system, and explain why you feel that the GE is "a great rock 'n roll tube."

I too have the Calypso and primarily listen to Rock & Jazz. When I do get around to rolling tubes, I do not want to lose the detail/resolution & punch that I get from the stock tubes. However, I would be looking for a warmer/richer sound.

I really believe that this is system dependant...synergy is key.

Thanks!
