Best tubes for Jolida 1501 RC?


Just took the plunge for a Jolida 1501 RC integrated to match with my Klipsch speakers. It hasn't arrived but does have the stock tubes in the pre-amp section. What do you fellow 'Goners recommend for tubes? I understand the stock Chinese tubes aren't the best. My musical tastes are electric blues with some classic rock ( Tull, Moody Blues etc). Any and all suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

Tung Sols worked good in mine. Did not try others, but the
Tungs made the stock tubes sound like garbage.
If you can get the tube 8417 any brand,will make a big difference and outperform any 7AC base socket.
Thanks realdeal. I have ordered some Svetlana's which seems to be a good match and certainly an upgrade. I wil keep that in mind however.
