Jolida 302b tube rolling

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I know this has been discussed (many times) before, but my situation may bring some new specifics to light. I've tried a few combinations, but I'm not satisfied. My goals are: detailed, tonally accurate, 'magic' midrange, warm-to-neutral, ZERO brightness, zero fatigue.
This is partnered with:
Jolida jd-100 cdp (EH tubes, but willing to change)
B&W 602s2 speakers (not for long, but that's another thread)
Attempts and observations:
Chinese EL34's: lacking detail and midrange quality, slightly bright
SED KT88's: great speed and detail, still a little bright, weak midrange
SED EL34's: Best power tube I've tried yet. Good midrange good detail.
EH 12ax7's and 12at7's: very good detail, tolerable midrange, but bright.
Mullard 12ax7's and 12at7's: amazing midrange, zero brightness, zero fatigue, but lacking in detail and speed.
I'm currently using SED EL34's and Mullard 12ax7's and 12at7's. Midrange and tone are perfect, the is zero brightness, zero fatigue. However, this combo is too smooth. I'm looking to add detail and speed without adding brightness and fatigue.
I have to work with:
Chinese EL34's
SED EL34's (big 'S', not winged 'C')
SED KT88's
EH 12ax7's and 12at7's
Mullard 12ax7's and 12at7's
Budget: About $300
I'm happy to replace any or all tubes, working with the stock I have. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
