Yes indeed. I like the Brimar's. Overall, as others who have purchased them have said, they have 'smoothed' things out overall. Not a 'huge' impact, but IMO better than the stock Electro-Harmonix. The other improvement is that they have made things even quieter. As I've 'improved' the tubes in the Trumpet, it is overall much quieter than the stock tubes. And yes, I have my eyes out for some old Telefunken's for 2 or 4 of the ax7's slots. Right now running 4 new gold pin ax7 Genalex Gold Lions, which are actually pretty nice. All that said, I'm completely new to tubes and rolling, so have no historical reference to compare, but having fun, and enjoying it.
@bkeske- Did I read further up about you rolling some Brimar 12AU7s in your rig? If so, impressions? Have you tried Funkengroovins (aka Telefunken-original, not current production)? Or RCA "clear top" side getter flashed? Or "real" Mullards (made in England, not the current black label variety made in Russia) ?
