New Tung sol 12AX7's are excellent. Best I have heard even over NOS in several applications, and yes they have that big warm but dynamic sound like good NOS. Only ones as good are the Telefunkens, MAZDA's, & Baldwin/Sylvania tubes running between 200 and 300 per matched pair. So you can get these at like 40 per matched pair well worth it easily the best buy today in current production in my opinion. JJ not nearly as good from my experience, of course I think EH sucks too so maybe its just taste at the end of the day.
