What are we going to do about Tele 12AU7 prices

so the prices are ridiculous,,none of us can afford these prices..so what AU's are we going to substitue foe Teles.
And dont say RCA;'s, I  dont like   RCA's and  Philips Miniwatts were ok, nothing great. 
I need something close to Tele. but at 1/5th the price.

I had Psvane 12AX7's. = trash next to a Tele
Well, I don't know about 12AX7 since I did not use them. In my system the Psvane 12AU7s sound phenomenal. Some of the user reviews suggest that they replaced some NOS with the Psvanes and they were more than happy with that. And I am sharing based on my experience. What is the component you want these tubes in?Maybe take the bias off and give them the Psvanes a listen. Maybe the Psvane 12AU7s cost 1/5 the price of your prized Tele and sound much better...who knows unless you give them a shot. Good luck.
