Describe ube sound vs solid state

I bought Gold Lion 12AX7 reissues from "thetubestore" with matched
and balanced sections for a fraction of whatever dealers want for exotica like the
Mullard 10ms, and they are simply great sounding 12AX7s for my tastes
anyway...I like NOS Mullards of course, and have a pair 6201s on their way from
Upscale as I was smitten by their price and gold pins (my trusty 4024s are still
fine and will be given a rest). I think that the success of New Sensor with their
KT120s and 150s, Gold Lion reissues, "Mullards," (my Burriss class A
guitar amp uses, as stock, Mullard reissue 12AX7s as the designer loves those
things), and other stuff is an interesting success story and unique in tube-
ville...I've never had one blow up (yet) and considering the volume of stuff they
crank out they seem to be making some great AFFORDABLE glass items, and I
hope they continue.

So are you currently using the Mullard 10M tubes or not Keith?

While I have not specifically heard the 10M, I have owned and still do own quite a few Mullard tubes. Very sweet and musical, but not resolving enough for me. They may work better with more resolving equipment. I prefer the Amperex Bugle Boy pinched waist 12AX7's. To each their own though. Cheers.

Hi John, No, I do not own the 10m yet, however, these are my must do bucket list for my tube cd-player, I have been spending money on outlet's currently that are exspensive too, I have heard many good thing's about the Amperex Bugle Boy tube's in general, I have researched and talked to many tube lover's for nearly two year's, as far as the 12ax7 tube, it's the same answer over and over, the 12ax7 mullard 10m is it if you can afford one and find it from a reputible dealer, alot of fakes out there.

It's a shame you can't listen for yourself Keith, as that is really the only way to know what you like best.
I have tried many Mullards, Amperex, Telefunkens, Siemens, as well as current production tubes from Psvane, Gold Lion, etc.

Just as you won't be able to tell what food you will like best by reading a description, the same goes for tubes, fuses, cables, and just about everything in audio. Also, a lot of it depends on synergy too. I have heard Mullard tubes sound "best" with some gear too.
Self experimentation is half the fun.

The journey IS the destination. ;)

Hi John, yes, it's a work in progresse, starting from scratch 2012 is over whelming by way of financial part of it all, cable's are good to go, outlet's are good to go, amp is, getting to tube's ect... speaker's, you know, this take's a while, then you can buy and sale and get half your money back and build away, under my circumstance's, I'm doing very good, actually, better than I projected.
