GL 12AX7 & 12AX7LPS sounded the same to me in same circuit. What preamp were you listening to when comparing the tubes?

I've heard Citation Is, IVs and a couple others, and I've also heard them in an Eico HF-87 and a couple other amps.
It's not just me that hears differences, it's a lot of people if the feedback I get from my customers is any indication.
I heard no difference in a Fisher 400 preamp and tone section. But, that test means little. You are the expert and hear a difference. I stand correct the 12AX7LPS & GL is the same tube.
Keep in mind that the circuitry the tube is installed in will have a large impact on overall tone. So I don't doubt for a second that you didn't hear a difference. But it's not because they are the same tube.
Thank you for the compliment - I try not to come across as a "know-it-all". But I do have the advantage of lots of experience with tube stuff, and lots of nice folks who provide me with feedback about their tubes, etc. Thanks for your take on the situation too, much appreciated!
Typo- I stand corrected (Not- I stand correct).
