Tubes used in VTL 6.5 II preamp?

Hi -- does anyone know what brand 12AU7s VTL uses in the 6.5 II preamp? Much thanks.

And if you have/had a 6.5 II and tried different tubes, would appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Dont have the 6.5 but do have the 7.5. You may want to try installing some PSVANE T-IIs. most open and 3-D tube I have tried so far.
