I use 3 Tele 12ax7 in my Croft pre and 2 RCA 5751 in its phono section because for classical music the RCA is better than the Telefunken .
BEST 12AX7 Bas/mids/high FQ's your choice
Mine is
Telefunken 12AX7.
No nonsense **piched waist,,,D getters, Holy Grails~~~ no snakeoil
Just any old Tele will do.
NOS is OK, tests strong is perfectly fine as well.
Tests average for a poor man's budget.
I'd rather havea Tele tests weak vs any other 12AX7 NOS on the market.
=a medium testing Tele will beat out a Siemens NOS/Mullard NOS/GE NOS.
AS I say we are only speaking of tiny nuances of sonics, but that miniscle gives Tele the edge over all other 12AX7's.
Ck Ebay prices on Telefunken 12AX7, thats give ~~proof to the pudding~~~.
