RE: Mullard CV4004 or Mullard ECC83?

I bought a lot of CV-4004 box plates for 50 dollars each and they were driver grade but they sound ok.I have 100s of 12AX7s of all types and my favorites are the Telefunken smooth plates and the RCA black plates and the Amperex DD getter.The 10M Mullards are superb but they are out of reach as are the Telefunken ECC803s.
Vintage Mullards are ok when they work but they turn microphonic at the blink of an eye..The New Sensor 12AX7s along with the 12AX7LPS are getting much closer in the right circuits and now I basically mix old with new to get the best sound.I also like the Raytheon 5751 windmill getter a lot in driver applications.
