best tubes for Aesthetix Calypso


I have read several reviews, but know to come to this source for the BEST info. I'm going to re-tube my Aesthetix Calypso. It's tube compliment consists of 2-12AX7's and 2-6922's. I prefer deep, smooth, but quick bass and nice clear mids and highs. (guess everyone does) I have read about 7025's, Cryoset tubes, Mullard's and Telefunken's etc. Which are my best play? It may influence your answer, so here's the rest of my equipment: Lyra Delos/Koetsu Urishi Black carts, ARC PH-7 phono stage, Calypso line stage and Pass 100.5 monoblocks. They are all pushing Wilson Maxx II's.

I tried Telefunken smooth plates and 60's Mullards and like the stock Sovteks the most in the 12AX7 spot. I thought they were the clearest and cleanest without being analytical. The Mullards were too romantic without no bass and treble. The Telefunkens were just not clear enough.
