Help with tube choice

I need help choosing an E88CC/6DJ8 tube for my headphones/preamp.    I know Siemens, Telefunken, etc, but I'm looking for people who use the E88CC/6DJ8 and have heard of tubes, im open to any tube, i only have a $125 budget for a pair.

 

I like a warm sound but not too warm, good bass, and magic in the midrange with a sparkle on top, don't we all want that?  Shoot me the best tubes you use in this group; there are too many to choose from, and my budget makes it difficult.

 

Thanks

For more of a value tube I've had good luck with JAN Phillips 6922s.

look at Ness Tones  he has some cheap ones that I have used around $10 each.  Worth a try before you go completely crazy.

Amperex 6922’s either the Rockets or the PQ’s are good.
