If I may ask, what was it about the Gold Lion you weren't a fan of and what were it's strong points in your system?

The Genelex sounded more ordinary vs the RCA that had more black in-between instruments and the singer(s) voices. Just a better soundstage & clarity.
My amp is DIY with triode connected PPP 6V6 tubes. I built same amp with PPP 45s and like the 6V6 amp better.
The 12AX7 was in the preamp position. The triode 6V6 was more lively sounding. Frankly, the amp is best I ever heard. I owned a lot of upgraded vintage amps.
I would be willing to bet the Genalex' softer top end is what you heard. It is quite often described in different terms, but "clarity" is usually a product of top end extension/energy.
That's why I like the Genalex/Tung-Sol combo - the two tubes have performance attributes that compliment each other very well.
Just my $0.02 anyway...
