Audible Illusion L1 / M3A, which tubes ?

Hi any owner of this nice Pre-amp who has tried different tubes? I'm just using EH6922 now and wondering if other tubes would match better and give me good improvement? Do I have to go to those more expensive Mullard etc. or anyone know of good tubes that match well with this?

BTW, I heard people say sovtek but chance of finding good match pair is 50/50... how does one find a good pair? any reliable on-line store out there?

Thanks, Tom.

Just report back to the folks here. During the last few weeks I tried the Reflektor 6H23N-EB and the Sovtek 6922 (the new but discontinued ones, not NOS).

As of now I'm staying with Sovtek after the comparison. The Reflektor is actually very good but I find it a bit too fast too aggressive for my taste. The Sovtek seems to be just righe for me. Very smooth and sweet.

Now back to the music...
