Tubes for Raysonic CD 168

I have a Raysinic cd 168 tube cd player which is using the Electro Harmonix 6922 tubes. I would like to hear from other Raysonic owners as to what tubes they are using and what it did to the sound. The rest of my system is: Classe 15 amp, Audible Illusions Modulus 3a pre with 6h23eb tubes, Vandersteen 2ce speakers. All interconnects are mit terminator 2 and speaker wire is also mit terminator 2. Power cords and conditioning are courtesy of Shunyata.

To avoid the expense of the excellent NOS stuff try some new production JJ's or better yet, if you can find them, some pre-war Tesla's. They are a lush tube - great tone. Only down side is they can be microphonic (but not in my 128).

I also like EI 6DJ8's. Not quite as lush as the JJ's - more neutral perhaps but unlike most of the other new/recent production tubes. They are not bright, etched, or thin and way more balanced than say the EH. They might be hard to find also. I haven't tried the 6cg7 or the 6n1p.

FWIW.
