Tubes


Any thoughts on Genalex Gold Lion, gold pin reissue 12AX7 & 12AT7 tubes for Jolida JD-1000BRC?

In my Jolida 502P (a GREAT amp sold recently as I switched to a single ended thing) I used GL 12AX7s and they were great…for 12AT7s I used NOS Mullard 6201s or 4024s which I really liked…and they flash on start up which is a bonus and a crowd pleaser.
I just received my amp today. It came from the factory with TungSol 12AX7'S & 12AT7'S for line and Electro Harmonics for output. It's been outside for quite a while. I'm not going to plug it in until tomorrow. Can't wait to listen to it
I had tried the Tung-Sol and found them to be a little sterile in my Unison amp.
In place I am using the RFT, though a little darker I like the richer tone.
Old telefunkens or Millard’s. Teles are better in the mids and highs and Mullards are nice and mellow when your in that Coltrane kind of mood. Tried all the newer ones but they don’t come close which is reflected in the current market value of these vintage tubes. If money is an issue, then gold Lions would be a good choice.
