Ordered a matched quad of the CJ Special Test grade to try in my Rogue Audio RP-7 preamp. I think the stock JJ 802 tubes sound excellent, especially for the cost. Have about 50 hours on these Brimars and there was certainly a change for the better from initial installation to this point. Very nice soundstage, no harshness at all in the treble, and just a very clean and clear musical presentation.

Stunning performance. I already had some vintage Mullards but these just blew them out of the water. Big super tight bottom, upfront mids and sheer smooth highs. Totally in love with these.

There was significant improvement from my Rogers PA-2 Phono Preamp when I switched to the Brimars. Really exceptional.

I think these might be the best bang for the buck in NOS 12au7s.
