How many of each does it take, 12ax7, 6sn7 and EL34s? I have some nice tubes that I simply don't use.
If buying new, I am very partial to Svetlana. They are very similar to mullard 12ax7s. Haven't looked at 6sn7s much. Also, Svetlana makes a very sweet EL34 for about $20 that is actually rated at max of 25 watts-get a little more bang for your buck.
Finally, from what I was told, CJ tends to make thier equipment a little differently. They supposedly engineer each piece to use a tube with specific qualities. Contact CJ and ask what they suggest.
