Jolida recommended to me the Svetlana EL34's and the JAN Phillips input tubes. They told me that the Tesla tubes tended to vibrate with a resonance in the unit. The Sovtec's are also OK for output. I don't know about NOS, but you should probably do a search on Audio Asylum.

The stock Jolida tubes sound BAD. I have Svetlana EL34's and they sound excellent. The driver tubes for the 302 overlap with my main rig so I have tried a fair number of rare NOS input tubes. Decent NOS does make a difference but don't go hog wild. The amp has limitations that make the best NOS a waste.
