Tubes for a VTL 2.5


I need to retube my 1997 VTL 2.5 Preamp and would like to know what would be some upgraded tubes over the J&J's that are currently in there now. I have 2x6350's and 2x12AU87's in the unit currently. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I am driving a pair of Magnepan 3.6's with a McCormack DNA-225 amp as my other system pieces with MIT cables.

Thanks

I retubed a VTL 2.5 with NOS Mullards and am very pleased. Upscale audio was very helpful in determining which tubes to buy for this preamp. Mullards have more midrange bloom (which I like)than the stock tubes but are very detailed at the same time (which I also like). I'm a little confused, though, since mine uses 2x12au7 and 2x12at7 tubes. Is the 6350 a substitute for the 12at7? I'm also using a ss amp and magnepans with it.
