tubes for phono section


I recently purchased new turntable after living w/out one for 4 years. I was wondering if anyone has any tube preferances for the phono section of my conrad-johnson PV10A?

You can never go wrong with Telefunken small-signal tubes- of course, they are very expensive, especially for NOS ones. Other good tubes like Mullard, Amperex Bugle Boy (both before the 1970's) and RCA black plate (1950's) should also be considered. As for SFP-1, I think it uses 6DJ8/ECC88- Siemens should be good too for this family of tubes.
