Gold Lion reissue 12ax7 vs. Mullard reissue 12ax7


I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their experiences of how these two types compare in sound, reliability, etc.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you much.

I did not have good luck with a couple of early Mullard reissues, poor reliability, but was told they later improved the quality control. Recently got a set of the PSVANE tubes, and like them quite a bit, for modern tubes. Used in a phono pre, they have a very slight hiss, but very nice midrange and bass, no lack in the highs that I have been able to id.
