I'm glad they are getting better so as to have a less expensive alternative. I had a 60's Mazda chrome quit on me in a preamp. To buy a replacement was $80-100 so I settled for a pair of Mullard re-issues. No they might not be as good but the difference wasn't worth the money to me. At some point in our audio addiction we have to come to a compromize in money spent vs small improvements in sound.
BTW I have 1 Mazda Chrome 12ax7 for sale if anyone needs one.:-)

Did you look int the gold lions 12ax7 upscale has them on there website...I am tempted to try them heard nothing but great things about the tubes. NOS is getting f//kin crazy $. I mentioned upscale because I saw is some other post that you bought tubes from there before..

  They didn't have them when I ordered or I would have considered them. I ended up getting them from Doug's Tubes who was cheaper than anyone else.
  If you pull the trigger let us know how they are. Most NOS are getting too high even thought they are usually better. The rising quality of the re-issues is great for us.
