Well, hate to keep repeating "your mileage may vary", but it certainly is gear/system/room/ears dependent. The CBS consistently is rated highly by most 12au7 users. The going rate for these has been around $35-$40 per pair NOS for a few years now so these were reasonable. I listen to some 1951 Raytheon 5814's with another pair of 1952's waiting in the wings. The CBS are my second favorite type and I have a couple of pairs of those from the mid 1950's. I have heard most of the other contenders including the Siemens chrome plates, Amperex 7316, various Mullards, Brimars, the Tungsol black glass and clear class with gray plates.... The Raytheon and CBS 5814's are the best in my amp. Hope you like them!
