VTL 7.5iii Tubes

I am the happy owner of a new pre-owned VTL Mk III preamp, a mighty performer. Yes, I miss my Wyetech Opal and parted with it reluctantly, but I needed a pre with a remote, and the VTL emnote is a functional and aesthetic work of industrial art.

I think there are Mullard 12au7/EC82 tubes in there now, of unknown provenance or vintage. I had the top off and foolishly did not focus on them or take a photo.

Anyone have 12au7 tube recommendations for this pre? It sounds fab now, but you know how it is . . . .

Thanks, all. The Mullards sound good, but I hear some tube rush when there is no signal and I turn the volume up to 1/3. Never had that with 6sn7 tubes. Wonder if they are starting to go, although they sound fine.

Thanks for comments. Also am going to ask some pro's, (not that y'all aren't!).

HNY.
