I run a primaluna prologue 2 modded with auricaps and a hi-fi tunning fuses. I run goldlion kt-88's and mullard 4003's I also run gold lion 12ax7's or tungsol reissue ecc803s gold pins. My friend dropped by for a drink and to shoot the bull as they say and enjoy some music. I had the tungsols in at the time. We listened to a few songs and he asked me if he could try a pair of tubes out. I let the amp cool and took out the mullard 4003's and put in cbs hytron 5814's red lettering with black plates and a bent square getter. These tubes sounded fantastic the were sweet with nice air great tight full bass and very natural sounding I was very very impressed. I thought they sounded somewhat like my 4003's but more refined. very nice tubes.
Follow Ups:
That tube is the best USA manufactured 12AU7 series IMO. Only the Brimar 13D5 may outperform it. The CBS is a little warmer sounding than the Brimar.
My experiences exactly with both of those tubes.
Vinyl + Tubes= Bliss

This tube is very nice, I have a lot of these.
Other fine tube is the Raytheon 5814A black plates.
But the GE and RCA 5814 black plates play fine, too.

I have tried all various 5814 including the Hytron and 12au7 and for some reason keep going back to the RCA BP 5814.
