Tube Rolling with the Line Magnetic 518 IA

I recently took delivery of the fine Line Magnetic 518 IA. This is an excellent integrated except it comes with basic inexpensive tubes. I'm lloking to hear from those who have done any tube rolling with this amp and what combination turned out to be the most musical sounding. Also interested in how many hours it took to break in this amplifier.

Hello
By now I have PSvane Acme 845 tubes in the LM518ia.
Driven by NOS Tesla KT88 with white socket.
NOS Genalex Gold Lion U52 rectifier and Siemens E83CC triple mica.
When watching movies the sound comes out of the movie, goes deep into the movie and makes a sonic 3D scenario which is amazing.
I wonder if anyone have tried NOS EL37 as drivers for the 845s?
Or even NOS 7581a GE or similar?
