I second the RCA clear top and Amperex HBB recommendation. I'd also like to add another decent tube to the list: the RCA black plate 6189. Very good sonic performance for $8 per tube. The highs are not as smooth as the cleartop but the bass/midbass is tighter and cleaner. The midrange/vocals were slightly less refined/realistic than the cleartop.

Rod: If the Amperex and the RFT had a love child, it would be RCA black plate 6189.
