Try Brent Jessee Recording. Brent is a good fellow and knows a lot about tubes.Be sure to get the oval grey plate with mark 188-5. Brent will confirm for you.

Also, the RCA 6BQ5 is a very good sounding and still affordable tube; a different character of sound - a little lean compared to the GE or the Mullard but very athletic and musical.
Still, the GE is king for me; I prefer it to all the European tubes. I hope you find something you like without spending so much money.
I discovered the GE a few years ago, through jimmy. I bought a 3 lifetime supply. I have far too many. If you need some extra after you decide they're for you, let me know. I also have 2 matched quads of the same GE in 7189 configuration.
I already bought some tubes from Brent.I got some JAN military GE 5670 tubes and some RCA 6BQ5 tubes off of him.Super nice guy.This combo sounds very,very nice.I quess was just suffering from the addiction bug in trying to improve on an already great sounding combo.My tube journey is over,I got off easy.Thanks
..and one can discern subtle aural differences in them. Some like black plates, some grey, etc.There is a notable difference between the character of the RCA and that of the GE. To my ear the GE gives a bit more extension on both ends, a "sweeter" mid-range, more pronounced bass.
As I said the RCA is a very muscular sound with great control top to bottom. I plug some in occasionally just for the change.
