I use 5751s in the preamp section (line stage) in place of the 12AX7s with very good results. You didn't say if you wanted only current production or NOS/OS tubes. The phono section will call for very carefully selected low noise tubes as already recommended. Therefore I would think you will have better luck with current production from a good dealer like Jim. In my own experience current Tung Sols have a very even, clear and pleasant tone. You might want to consider them.
It is a pity that NOS 6922s have become so costly, everytime I see NIB Siemens tubes I want to buy them for their outstanding sonics, but my situation isn't what it used to be financially. There is one 6922 variant that is very quiet and very special which is the Mullard CV2493 or ECC88-01. I really like them for their clear well balanced signal and great tone.
