Fun tube roll. A bit more color and some music pushes instruments subtly into spaces previously unnoticed in the depth of the soundstage.

Overall fantastic tube. Very dynamic, transparent, and adds more life and detail to the music. Similar sparkle on the top end to a Siemens but with great bass extension and punch. Midrange has a nice purity for vocals and guitars. Also dead quiet and perfect for phono stages. I think this tube is very overpriced, but it is a rare 12AX7 that has a unique balance between the sound signature of other notable brands.

Seems to be a musical tube with good midrange. I'm not completely certain if it was worth the $140 price tag or not. It is certainly not causing any harm. Again it is tough to do A/B comparisons and hearing memory is very short. In essence, this tube is very smooth and does not add or subtract anything from what I can gather.

Shipping to Canada was fast. Went above and beyond great packing to ensure no damage. Can`t comment on the tube, as the original tubes are still in my amp.

These tubes sound great in the Rogue Ares Magnum. They are already starting to sweeten up a bit and they mate very well with my Brimar CV4003's. Thanks for always helping to make my rig sound the best that it can.
