RE: Exact sonics depends upon the amp & speakers

The Brimar is neutral, uncolored and crystal clear. It is also bright with a lot of detail. I like this tube.

The Mullard 12AX7 (F91) long plate is warmer & musical. The Mullard is definately darker as described. I find the F91 betters the Brimar per my tastes. Wish I had some NOS just to own the tubes. I would guess a NOS pair if found would be at least $500 per pair.

The original posters tubes are ok, but do not cut it for me. Kind of like listening to a $500 vs $4000 amp. Hard to go back to the $500 model.
