I love the Chinese 12ax7c. It sounds better than any other 12ax7 I have, with 1 exception: Old Telefunken 12ax7 with the long plates and the diamond on the bottom. The TFK is quieter, has better tone, and more detail.It even betters the Siemens 12ax7, which I still use in phono stages as it is slightly quieter than the 12ax7c. But the C has better tone.
And it blows out the 12ax7lps, JJ, Amperex, Mullards, etc I've tried.
Of course, this is all in my system, and with the tonality I like. But at $4/tube, you dont have much to loose.
See the link at the bottom.

I've got more labels of 12AX7 tubes around here than I ever want to admit. Then I went WAY out on a limb and tried the Shuguangs for a whopping $4.00 each.....WOW! .... Blew away everything else....period!
I have good experience with Shuguang 12AX7C and I like it very much.
