Loocking for 6922 tubes for my Audio Research LS7

I´ve just bought an AR LS7(used)and I want to replace the tubes. It has the original Sovteks. (4 tubes)
Unfortunally I could see that NOS like Siemens, Amperex or Mullard are very expensive for me, and it´s too difficult to find good pairs. So for the moment I can buy new tubes like Electro Harmonix, Ei, Tesla.....
Can you recomend me which is better ?
I saw that many people use the Electro Harmonix Gold Pin 6922.
Anyone use the Ei 6dj8 Elite Gold ?
I will apreciate all your recomendations.

I prefer the more balanced tonal characteristics of the JJ vs the EH in DK Design MKII, Quicksilver Audio phono pre, Audion Sterling MK I and MK II SET amps. The EH (steel and gold pin) seem to accenuate the mid freq a bit which might be ok with your AR LS7?
Let us know how it works out, Mike.
