Tube Recommendations for Counterpoint 5000 & 220?

What tubes do you recommend for these units. I will not be using the phono stage in the preamp.

Thanks.

Does anyone have experience with trying different tubes in the SA-220 amp and what were your results? I was thinking about Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8s I am not familiar with the other tube the amp requires. I do not have the SA-5000 preamp yet so I am not sure what tubes are in there but will look at Mike's site tonight. I will be using the amp with Alon V MKII speakers, CEC TL-2X transport and Audio Logic 34 DAC that has Amperex BB 7316s and 6DJ8s in it now. Thanks
