Vintage tube suggestions

Need help with tube selection. What would you consider a great value
(budget of $100 per tube) for 12AX7 vintage tubes? Application would
be preamp, and possibly DAC.

My DAC is a Jolida glass fx tube dac III. In the DAC I'm using a pair of Mullard 12AX7 / ECC83. Though I think the tubes I'm using sound very good, I would like more air, larger soundstage. Vintage?
