Looking for brighter tubes

Attention tube heads: I'm looking for brighter (more treble...not higher amounts of glow and chrome) tubes, if they exist. My amp (Jolida JD502P) has a well regarded bunch of Russian Tung Sol 6550s and 12AX7/12AT7s but I'm wondering if there's anything out there that imparts more sizzle in this amp. I do like the amp as it is...but hey..."rolling rolling rolling, keep them tubeys rolling...

I have the Black Sable EL 34 and the Shuguang Treasure Series 6CA7, which I am currently using. The Black Sables brighten; the Shuggies dampen slightly. For punk, industrial etc. the Black Sables have more headroom. For Blues, Classical, everything else, the Shuggies are Fab.

Used with ASL AQ 1003DT & de Capo's.
