What tubes for a EAR p834

I have a EAR P834 with hovland cap upgrade. It has the stock tube (JAN 12ax7, I think). I have heard the the Telefunkens sound amazing in the Ear, but the cost for retubing would be more than I want to spend. Does anyone have any sugestions on curently produced tubes that could get me great sound? Or should I just save until I am ready to get the Teles? Thanks!

As far as the phono section of the EAR full preamp, Absolute Sound's second take on it, in the latest issue, recommended strongly the use of the Mazda, a french tube that is in current production. I know I will be getting them tomorow as most french export products ends up here in Montreal. Bonne chance !
P.S. I will post my experience with them in the following week.

Sorry C Wise- but I realise that the Mazda are not currently produced but NOS type.
