12AT7 / 12AU7
Which brands are known for having more of a syrupy/airy/atmospheric sound?
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.
