The Telefunken 12au7’s fit your description very well.

‘On my system they sound better than Amperex.

I have a vintage re-capped Conrad-Johnson PV 11 preamp along with a Benchmark AB2 Amplifier.

I just ordered a matched pair of AU7’s from Brent Jesse for $250 a few minutes ago .

With all due respect, in my head to head comparison with the Telefunken and Amperex, the Telefunken was sweeter. YMMD.
