Most of the tubes mentioned here are pretty cheap.
6AS7's - RCA, Svetlana, Sylvania, and GE (6080) are all like $12 apiece
6SN7's - RCA, Sylvania, and GE are all $20-30 each, the Tungsol is like $50 I think.
However, some of the rarer gray/black plate version of the tubes can go for a lot more. Look around in the thread for general impressions of each of the tubes and various combinations.
