Tube favorites for Modwright LS100?


Howdy Friends,
Are any of you having success with a little tube rolling for the Modwright LS100 preamp...either the 6SN7's or the 5AR4? And I am sorry, but I am not interested in anything costing dern near as much as the preamp itself...$500 or more for a pair of vintage 6SN7's? Not happening in my monetary (read "happily married") world.
Thanks to one and all for your kind input and experience!

I am auditioning a LS100 with stock tubes.

I find the top end a little hot, bright, slightly harsh.

My reaction may be due to my age and too much rock and roll in my youth, my hearing is down quite a bit at 10,000 hz and higher.

Do you think upgraded tubes for the LS100 will tame the top end or just add bass and expand the sound stage.

Thanks
