Brimar 13D5 tubes (12AU7 substitute)

I just picked up some Brimar 13D5 tubes off of A'gon and had a listen to them last night. I let them warm up for a couple of hours in my Quicksilver M60s and then played some of my test material. Wow! They have more detail in them without the harshness or sibilence I normally find with detailed tubes. I am really quite pleased with them and am going to get a couple more sets for backups. My other two favorite tubes in this position are the Mullard CV4003, and RCA 12BH7.

This seems like an odd tube as there was very little I could find on them by googling. Maybe a dozen hits on our database. Does anyone else have experience with these tubes?
