I feel this way about most Brimar and Mullard tubes. Acutally, I feel that way about the European tubes in general. I certainly didn't plan it that way, but the majority of my favorite tubes are American black plates. I just don't seem to favor the European sound.

That said, I do really enjoy the sound of this particular Brimar, the CV4004. Very nice, and I count it among my better sounding tubes.

Can't touch my absolute favorite tubes, though.. GE/Ken Rad Long Carbon Plate 12ax7 from 1949-1951 made in the Owensboro, KY plant.

Now THAT is a 12ax7!! Of course, of course, YMMV! :)
