Tube recommendations for AES AE-3 Preamp

Does anyone have tube suggestions for this Audio Electronic Supply pre-amp? I'm new to tube components, and I realize the perfect tube is always going to be a personal preference. With that said, I know upgrading to a NOS tube will be an improvement to reduce microphonics, and help combat the thin sounding digital music.

I have a tight budget, so any suggestions for 6SN7 tubes on the AE-3 would be great!

Thanks!

Though they will not equal the likes of Sylvanias, I have two recommendations for low cost tubes.

Raytheon and the silver colored metal based Shuguang 6N8P. Both sound satisfyingly good, at pricing that comes in lower than the lousy sounding current production out of Russia and China.
