12au7 tube?

Looking for a good 12au7 (JJ ecc802s currently). I know the Telefunken ECC802s is the holy grail, but it comes at a price that is just too steep for me to justify. Many will recommend Mullard, but I always find them a bit too "wooly", lacking in definition. They're going in a Mastersound 845 Compact.

 

What tubes would you recommend that fits between the clarity of the Telefunken (without the price...) and the Mullard? I don't mind spending a bit of money on a pair (let's say max $500 for the pair, prefer to be lower if at all possible).

You have a nice system. I use telefunkens and hope they will last a really long time.

When I read your first comment it seems like you're being kind of cheap. Why are you limiting your purse string in this area.??

I don't like trying out different types of tubes I just settled for something that I knew would be exceptional purchased from Jesse.
