Tungsol reissued 12AX7 (Russian) is bright. Maybe, overly bright in a neutral-to-bright system. Ok in bass. Thin in low-midrange.

GL B759/12AX7 (Russian) is better balanced. And potent. Can make a section dominate the entire amp or pre-amp. Not to the super clean high notes of the TS.

For Fender amps (stock with no mods) --- the Gold Lion is a better fit. For dark SE amps, like some old Ampegs or tweeds --- the TS can brighten the tone, make it more lively.

Just my 2¢ worth. Hope everyone had a safe 4th.
