Vacuum tube ! And Warnings

BEST 12AX7 Bas/mids/high FQ's your choice
ThanksI listen only to CM, When I make all my tests, it is with jazz/blues,,,I will try my RCA's with CM vs the Tele's. My idea was, the superior tube in blues/jazz dynamics, should also be best in CM. Agree the FQ's in CM is quite dif from jazz/b... 
Mundorf Silver Caps

BEST 12AX7 Bas/mids/high FQ's your choice
Ok back from 12AX7 tube shootout. Mullard/Siemens/Philips and assume my RCA/GE's as well, all 4 very EXTREMELY close to Telefunken, = Tele by a  thin edge. Now i know why Tele's go for 2X's the price,,folks want that ~~~miniscule nuance edge~~ ,, ...

Help me decide which E88CC tubes i should buy
Seems the Tele E88CC's are ~~The Holy Grails~~~ as prices are $$$$$...I'm not so sure about E88CC's beating out ECC88's. I have my doubts.I am rolling Siemens, Tele, Philips (= Amperex). and can hardly say which is superior in my cayin CD17 player...
