Ahh, me too

You likely know I too am a Don Allen fan. Have his 45 amp and 300b amps. LOVE EM, no regrets what so ever!
Don also feels the TJ 45/300b tubes are one of if not the best.
I was the guy who snaged the pair of AVVT 300bSL on agon (have a hunch there used though). Since my EML went south (started arcing) I wanted another pair. Currently using china 300b-98c tubes, hey they sound amazing! no lie In Don amps the china tubes really sing but I found the EMLs to sound good when they work..... Only picked the AVVT tubes up as they were the same cost of new TJs, figured Id expand my horizon on taste.
I found the RCA black plates to be my fav 6bk7 and 6bq7 make. Although Sylvania also makes a black plate 6bk7/bq that is "almost" identical in looks and sound.
Also use the RCA bk in my CD and pre. Only use the bq in my 45 where they sound best IMO.
Im my 45 int amp I like the 6by5G rec tube the best. A little smoother than the 6ax5 Don shipped it with.
Have you bought his CD player yet? If not, wait no longer.
All the best
Dave
