Best Tubes for Audible Illusions 3 Pre-Amp

I will be able to provide a detailed review by the end of July. I have bought multiples of the best reviewed tubes on the Web. (Three review sources including Joe's).

This includes pinched Amperex 6922's, grey-plate Seimans CCa's, Telefunken E188CC's, white SQ's, white and orange PQ's, white E188CC Miniwatt's, orange globe 6DJ8's, and many, many more. (Yes, my wife is pissed).

I have bought two pair each and a tester to ensure proper matching an ability to give each type a second chance. (Yes, really pissed).

I plan to give each tube a couple days of play and also do some immediate tube changes for comparision.

It is important to also note that I have Never had problems with my Audible 3A burning out tubes. The white Amperex 6922 JAN's that were in the driver positions for 3+ (maybe 4) years are Now driving my phono the past 6 months. Boy do they sound great as phono drivers!

One thing to keep in mind - I Never turn the power off on Any component (except the turntable). I never even "mute" the AI 3A. I feel, with all electronics, that it's the warming/cooling./warming effect that kills components. I may be wrong but it works for me.
