Mullard cv4003 & 12au7 Blackburn


As a beginner I'm trying to understand the differences here. The Blackburn made ones I think were made in the 60's and the cv4003 during the 80's? What sonic differences, if any, are there?

I think the Primaluna stock tubes are made by Shuguang for PL.  

I've tried a ton of preamp tubes in my PL Dialogue Prem. HP integrated.  I like Ciftes, Mullards, GE military spec.  RCA clear tops are really bold and aggressive, which is fun but a bit too forward for me.  I sometimes mix a couple cleartops with Mullards or Ciftes with Mullards.
