I haven't tried too many different brands of tubes, but I really like these. I have a pair in a Conrad Johnson PV-10BL and it's hard to imagine anything sounding better.

I am purchasing a Rogue Audio DragoN Monoblock. Each contains a single 12AU7 as the front end, feeding an integrated Class D amp module. Rogue uses JJ tubes, but has told me that the Gold Lions are "warmer" than the stock tubes, and will sound more like my now superseded Stereo 100 dark amp. When amps received, will be comparing sound with both tube types. A previous purchase of the Gold Lions yielded a significantly better sound from my Backert Labs preamp.

I replaced the original 12AU7 tubes in my PrimaLuna Premium Prologue preamp. Have been using the Gold Lion almost daily for the last couple months and I love the soundstage and warmth they produce. I also want to mention that the original Primaluna 12AU7 tubes lasted almost 12 years!!!
