You will not thank me for this, and there are good reasons to look no further,
but you have only scratched the surface of the Quest for the Greatest 12AU7.

You may have accidentally hit upon the tube that works best for your taste, your music, and your gear.
If so your search is over and thank your stars. However, you might be able to find a tube that works even better for you,
a tube which is worth the effort and $. The key thing is knowing when to acknowledge that what you are
hearing now is certainly fine enough, and may not warrant further fiddling about.

Having said that, I never got to the point where I could resist that next audition. So I tried many tubes.
Many tubes. Finally, I did come upon one 12AU7 type which made me think 'this is excellent, this is enough'.
It was a relief to hit that point.
If you are not there yet, let me know and I can provide some candidates to consider.
