Gold Lion reissue 12ax7 vs. Mullard reissue 12ax7

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their experiences of how these two types compare in sound, reliability, etc.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you much.

I would also be interested in hearing any comments in how the Shuguang PSVANE 12AX7-T would compare to the Gold Lion reissues and/or Mullard reissues.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I know this is not the answer you're looking for but,you need to try them yourself,everyone perceives sound differently.

I don't know why this isn't getting responses but you could do a search for reputable tube dealers and then discuss what kind of sound you're looking for with one of them. They have the experience to help determine which tube might work best for you.

I did not have good luck with a couple of early Mullard reissues, poor reliability, but was told they later improved the quality control. Recently got a set of the PSVANE tubes, and like them quite a bit, for modern tubes. Used in a phono pre, they have a very slight hiss, but very nice midrange and bass, no lack in the highs that I have been able to id.
