They don't all have to be the same or matched. I would use matched pairs for the gain and input tubes. Just a guess, but I would think the input tubes would make the biggest difference. Can't comment on the new reissue recomendations made by others as the only one I have tried is the EH that came with my amp. They are not good IMO, pretty much anything will be better.
There is a lot of info on 6sn7 on this site. You don't have to spend a fortune, Most 6sn7gtbs like Sylvania's or RCA's or GEs are priced similar to new production. 6sn7GT from the 1950s are costlier but sound better generally.
You have a great preamp you should definitely upgrade the EH tubes.
Enjoy the roll!

Could I suggest that instead of tube-rolling you improve the PSUadd - Timbo in Oz 15:14:01 07/07/15 (1)
