Brief review of TungSol 12AU7W and some others

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I only have about 15-20 hours on this tube.

It IS a winner!
Great, and I mean GREAT top end. Good mids and bass. Not like a vintage style sound but a more balance relaxed sound. Very dynamic and a great sound stage. It really is a good tube. Thanks Jim!

Sylvania 12AU7W. Also a fantastic sounding tube. More fuller in the mid. Great treble and bass. Dynamic.

Sylvania 12AU7. Seems to loose a lot of the top end for some reason. Good otherwise. Has that typical vintage overly full midrange. Less in dynamics.

RFT 12AU7. I can't put my finger on this one. It's lacking something??? Dynamics, soundstage??? Like I said it's just missing something.

RCA 12AU7A. Great full bodied tube. But it clearly lacks top end.
