    Hope you get it sorted.

    I have had pretty good results from Brimar both 82 and CV versions.
    Gold pin versions are good.

    Default ECC82

    I could lend you some Mullard ECC82s which have been tested on my AVO valve tester. How many do you need? PM me if interested.

    I don't think all the reissues are lacking.
    The Genulex Gold Lions and Tung Sol may be a good place to start.
    Re issues have improved, at least some have.
