According Stereophile your amp use three 12AX7A and four 12AT7, this is a lot of input tubes.

For suggestions contact a reliable tube broker as Upscale or VTS if you live in US.

Hi Scooter, when I had my Mc275 MkIV I found the combination of NOS Mullard 12AT7 and 12AX7 plus reissue Genalex Gold Lion KT88 to be very musical and satisfying in my system. The Mullards were from Upscale Audio. This was, however, a number of years ago and prices of NOS Mullards may make this combination prohibitively expensive at this point.
