Best of current 12ax7?

Psvane 12ax7 treasure series TII. Awesome tubes.

I'll second the Psvane TII's. The 12AX7's came very close sonically to my reference NOS Pope's, for a whole lot less money. They are not cheap compared to current 12AX7's, but they are less costly than many NOS tubes, and quite good.

Black Sables are very nice for the money.

Tube rolling has one problem from sonics: It will show YOU what it can do in a given unit, with a given design, with a given layout, with given tube sockets, with the output range of a given preamp and so on. Change the unit and you can start all over again. Too bad for those who desperately look for the one and only super tube :-)
Anyway, my vote is for Psvane 12AX7 treasury series. Excellent performance for their price (compared to NOS, which are normally not NOS).

I'm not looking for the one and only super tube.

Fortunately with the prices of many of the recommendations above it's actually possible to roll a few without going to the poor farm. The great NOS stuff can be difficult to find and expensive, getting more so all the time. I've seen some of the great old 12ax7's approaching $1000 a pair. I have some NOS tubes but was looking for something a bit more down to earth and realistic.
