Somehow didn’t finish thread, newbie mistake. Any of the mentioned tubes preferred?
 
Siemens should be just fine... but you can try them all and compare with the same music (some vocals, instrumental, electro... different styles) take notes for each. New tubes ( could be nos) take many hours (up to 50h to 100h) to sound their best.
 
Russian 6P14p tubes ought to work quite nicely in that amp. They're durable as hell and sound decent. Another one to watch for are TELAM tubes (Polish mil-spec).
