EH Gold 6H30's, 6SN7's, 6C45's good for BAT gear?

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Hi all:
I've swapped-in some EH gold 6SN7's, 6H30's & 6C45's into my amps and phonostage (see system link next to my name)to replace stock ones. Was using NOS 6H30's from BAT in the amps, still using them in the preamp.
The EH golds are not broken-in, but they sound incredibly rolled-off. What are the 6SN7's of choice for my rig? The older Sovtek ones are totally different internally from EH gold and non-gold. Any prefs there? THe 6H30's (can't afford NOS ones, as they're $200/each now)? The 6C45's?
Guess I need some recommendations for reasonably-priced neutral sounding 6SN7, 6H30, 6C45 tubes for my all relevant parts of my BAT rig. I'm considering just calling VK and getting the OEM ones. Maybe the EH Golds will liven up with break-in? Just can't recall hearing new tubes that sounded that rolled-off.
Thanks!
