I put in an order with Jim McShane a few months ago

...And I asked him the same question about his best recommendation for 12AX7s for phono duty. I too was interested in the Gold Lions, but Jim said that for phono, the Sovtek 12AX7LPS were his best (AX7) tube. I ordered some from him, and they sound great. I'm very happy with them.
Keep in mind that Jim does extensive testing to his tubes prior to shipping. I might not have gotten such good results (low noise, etc) had I tried to save a few bucks buy buying the Sovteks from ebay, or the like.
