I have a used the PsVane with much sucess.
I have an Amp that uses the 12AX7 In that I have put Sovteks (Basically nothing more than a tube to put in a tube socket)
Also put in Vintage Mullards and Tele's . The matched Set Psvane to me sounded better balanced, clearer and detailed.
The Mullards a little bright & the Tele's A little to creamy for my system.
But it is always specific to equipment.
I also had a tube phono section which required both pairs. Again I tube rolled the Sovteks and
only replaced with the PsVanes. Vintage is great but they have their issues. With the PsVanes were very quite and for the price worked great and you should have no regrets. At worst they become a very good back up set just in case your vintage choice go south. But now my vintage 12AX&'s are my back up and the Psvane are still in and working fine for well over 2 years.
Lastly give them a little time to break in. Out of the box you will know you are the right path.
