new issue Gold Lion 12AU7

I've tried this tube in my headphone amp. It has a more neutral tonal quality, than the JJ 12AU7 (OEM in the pre-amp).

The JJ was a bit thin sounding. Not the warm rich midrange I'd expect in a JJ. Not the "house brand" type of tone that most JJ 12AX7 have.

The GL is neutral across the frequency range. Not peaky. Which I like better, esp in headphone amps.

FWIW.
