Do you have firsthand experience with JJ's causing your opinion? I have yet to have a JJ 12AU type fail. I've had my share of Gold Lion 12AUs go south on me though. Only problem I ever had with the JJ's was their 6922's a couple of years ago. You really should give their ECC802s a try.

You find this tube a bit too warm and syrupy?
Maybe, it's the units I've used them in...
The JJ 12AU syrupy? In my experience, no, not at all. Overall sound is pretty neutral I think. Actually, I found the Gold Lion to be darker sounding than either of the JJ's in my old CAT SL1. I found the JJ ECC802s to have a more refined sound than JJ's 12AU in the CAT. The 802s is a good tube and no reliability issues. I still use them from time to time in my PrimaLuna CD and they sound just as nice in that application.
