OK, so the consensus is that the stock Chinese valves will need to be replaced... but with what? Open to suggestions.

It really depends on how much you're willing to spend on replacement valves, when I decided to buy some new preamp valves for my Marshall amp, I felt justified on spending about $150.00 on a set of three Gold Lion ECC83 (same as a 12AX7) valves because the amp deserved a set of decent valves to sound it's best, the Chinese made 12AX7 B valves I had in it weren't quite up to par and sounded a bit weak.
You could try having a look through all the valves that Evatco stock.
