Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2

Why part 2?
Because she sings now, why?
Just arrived
Shugaung 12AX7T's from HK, dealer Douk audio,
WOWWW, unreal, IMHO no other 12AX7 comes even close to these Shugaung T's,. I mean this Defy in spite of the cheap chinese mock  Jadis 200 pre, the Defy has come to a  glorious resolution. 
I had no idea the front tubes were so so vital toa  sound ofa  tube amp.
I am using new Psvane's 12AU7 in the front, 4 12AX7T's just behind.
UNREAL. 



I will makea  YT vid today, and post it, and try to post a  link here.

I put my bet on these Shugaung 12AX7T's in a  shootout with every NOS EU 12AX7, any and all ina  shootout,
in 5 seconds or LESS the Shugaung would blow the entire bunch of  Siemens, Tele, Amperex, Mullards, all with ONE SHOT, .
These Shu are the quickest , most accurate, gun shooter in the west.

will have to go with 6550's in the Defy,,, the tube Jadis originally installed in the amp,,stupid to sell the 12 off w/o listening to them 1st..
Now i have to rebuy the 12. 
I really love the clear voice and crystal highs of the 6550 vs the more murky kt88.
man I really need to do more reserach before making costly decisions..
But i am more than sure this YT vid show the 6550 is my tube sound.

I went from 6550(not heard the tube) to kt90 to kt88, then kt150,, now running kt88,,,and now back to original Jadis recommended tube, 6550. 
Full circle, with a  price to pay.

I have to really laugh at this thread. Here we have the OP stating that in his Jadis amp, he feels that the new KT150 tubes are a 'flop design' and that they are murky and mushy! Hello, can you say amp/tube mismatch!!!
Since the OP's amps were not designed to work with KT150's, I think his opinion of how these tubes sound is irrelevant. Only thing the OP should consider is how lucky he is that his amp didn't go up in smoke when he rolled in the wrong tubes, LOL. Oh, now I see he tells us that the amp has one channel out...seriously what a joke!
