Excellent product. Balanced top to bottom. Give me the tube sound without sacrificing dynamics or detail. I use them in Cary audio SLP-03 pream. I tried the Mullard, it was a bit dark, bass transitions were not as clear, yet the midrange is the Mullard is great. This one is a no brainer. Of note this was my second set as backup in case upscale runs out. This is how much I liked them. System: McIntosh Mc-402 in monoparallel mono block setup, eggleston works Andra original speaker, cardas / synergistic research/ transparent cable. Front end : laptop to marantz sa8005 SACD/Dac running Tidal, and mmf-2 turntable. Of note I use these tubes on my Vincent tube phono pream, the don’t disappoint.

These were awesome in my HP. After more breakin time for new EVO-400 will probably be swapped in. Enjoy the laid back sound.

Everything I own with 12AU tubes gets the Brimar CV4403 upgrade as sonn as possible. They give me the sound I love out of tube gear.
