+6 on Brent Jesse.
But first start with reading user experiences here. Go through a ton of them so that you have a fairly good idea on the "flavor" for each brand of NOS.
Then reach out to Brent Jesse and don't ask him about the NOS tubes you shortlisted. Just tell him YOUR preference - what you like your music to sound like or what you would not like. TBH, in my mind (reading experiences here), I would have thought about Amperex Bugle Boys. Based on my needs he advised on Mazda Grey plates 1960s tubes. All I can say is I am super thrilled with these tubes. One thing about NOS is - they are so good that I did not feel the need to break them in. Of course, they will get better with time. But starting with hour 1 itself was a revelation.
The thing I do not like about NOS is - they are like drugs - you can check them out, but you cannot get off 🤨
