... pick up 4 or 5 common 12au7 variants (5963, 5814a, 12au7a, ecc82, ...) on ebay for a few dollars apiece and see what caught my attention. The different influences of the particular tube on your music will be noticed.I'd look for a seller that had several of these tubes and do a 'combined shipping' deal to save money on postage. For $25, you can get a nice assortment of good used tubes to try. If you find one you particularly like, you can then buy a true NOS of that variety.
That's what I'd consider doing, anyway. Have fun!
