Replacement tubes for Sonic Frontiers Line 2 SE?

It is time to replace the original tubes (Siemens) that came with my SF Line 2 preamp. The Siemens tubes are hard to find (and pricey). Could some of the Sonic Frontiers preamp owners who have replaced tubes comment on alternatives to the Siemens tubes?

Thanks,

Hi All,

I have an SF Line 2 on the way.  I will be using it with a ModWright Oppo and primarily listen to digital media. I also recently purchased a Conrad-Johnson MF2275, so there's that....

I am looking for a 'dark liquid' sound.  Not 'warm' or 'bloomy', certainly no glare or blare. A hint 'woody' would be alright. Tightly radiant and/or illuminating would be good.

So what tubes can you all recommend?  

Thanks so much for for all of your shared experience.

Best,
b
