I like the way it sound, very clear. The mid is very clear and the low is warm and not loud. The high it has a very good sound. Comparing this tube to the Chinese, Ruby tube, Gold Lion is by far a superior. The Chinese tube is a piece of you know what. Do not ever consider buying a Chinese tube is a very poor quality product.

I've loved the NOS Mullards but for a while I've wrestled with certain CD's of female vocalists that seemed to shriek at me no matter what I tried... just couldn't enjoy them. These tubes have fixed that in a CJ PV10A and at no compromise from the NOS Mullards. Finally able to play Sheryl Crowe without that fingernails across a chalkboard sensation.

Love these tubes, voices sound more natural (i.e. no harshness, or shouty top-end), and frequency extremes are handled very well. Hope their prices don't go up fast as the years go by. 1st hours of use outside the box, it sounds too smooth across the whole frequency range, lacking in visceral impact, reminds me of a Koetsu cartridge. 3 hours later, it starts opening up ...

Gives a stunning clarity from bass to highs. Drum kit pressures come to life. Highs are not harsh yet have detail. Separates instruments well. Beats the old JJ12ua7's I used to love which seem to have changed in quality. Has a different more detailed sound than a Bugle Boy I heard that was equaled by the old JJ's.
