Green label Dario miniwatt 12ax7s anybody used them?

Posted by Permanent Waves on February 6, 2017 at 15:38:04:
Considering buying a set of the French made Philips Dario 12ax7s tubes. I'm assuming the S stands for special and they are probably just low noise tubes but nothing special in way of construction as far as I can tell from other short grey plate Philips tubes. Dual getter support that about only difference I can see. I was wondering what I can expect. Will these behave and sound similar to my other short plate Philips tubes i.e. Orange globe Amperex, i65 bugle boys, e83cc SQ miniwatt. Anyone who has first hand experience using these before I'd love to hear what you think.
