I have about 20 of them and finally got around to building a 27 based line preamp and auditioned several types of 27 variants and unfortunately the Blue Arcturus 27/127 tubes are hopelessly micro-phonic and sort of "dark" sounding. Its shame cause they sure look purty. The Cunningham 227s sound pretty good as do certain ST versions of the 27. Guess the blue tubes should stay in the old radio realm...Dave
