Best Tubes results for McIntosh C2300

I have some ECC802S or ECC801S can't remember and have to wait a while until I am reunited with my tube collection. In any event there wasn't that huge world of difference between then and other high quality NOS types in the specific application I used them in. You say money is no object but finding the genuine article real McCoy ECC803S is fraught with difficulty. There are so many fakes floating around and relabled reclassified "S"s regular Old Stock tubes that are being dealt.
The cost is clearly rediculous no matter how wealthy you may be. It is simply obscene. However even if you are in a position to buy them I doubt they will live up to the hype and expectation. I would just get some well screened tubes from a really honest known dealer. You will be happy just to get truly good tubes What if you don't like them ? As a private seller you will never get near the price you paid.

By no means are the tubes ending their useful lifespan.The 12AX7A is a 10,000 hr tube so rolling is purely optional. As for rolling options are you thinking Old Stock or current production?
If you want to try a good current production tube you may want to try the Tung Sol Re-issue. Be sure to get the tubes from a dealer who really screens them.
For Old Stock the choice requires more about your tastes. IMO the Tung Sol is a fairly neutral tube tonally.
If you want a foil for the Macs inherent warmth think about German tubes with Telefunkens being the most obvious but Valvo which are warmer and Siemens a clean strong signal are clearly considerations.In that direction Ei Silver bullets now a NOS tube are crisp.
Unless you know of a tube that has the sound you want you may want to avoid the maddening world of tube rolling and collecting a slippery slope indeed. It's an addiction for some... beware.
