The 1970's Amperex A Frames will give you the tone you are looking for. But you may lose some of the round dimensional aspects. Otherwise it is an extremely quiet, durable, and smooth tube. Dare I say neutral?

Mullards are my preamp tube preference. Categorized as warmest yet of all the tubes mentioned, but midrange and dimensional chacteristics are extremely good, and fit well in my set up

But I don't use Mullards, preferring large O ring Bugle Boys in my power amp.

Really shows the balancing act of tube selection. Pretty much have to try them to know for sure.

Good luck with your search.

Cheers!

Jonesy
