Buying Tubes Again; Maddening

Sounds_real_audio, Can you please explain how a tube is properly respected by a designer?

I've recently begun using some of the Psvane 12AX7s, which are about the same price as the Genalex 12ax7, despite the fact that their EL84 is twice the price of a Genalex EL84. Anyway, my initial impressions are quite positive indeed, although I'm still in the first 100 hours of burn-in. About to drop in a pair of Psvane 12AU7s...

I'm going to try some of Jim McShane's recommendations and also a set of the Psvane. Both are reasonably priced.

Sounds like an excellent plan - will be very curious to see how the Psvanes stack up again's Jim's recommendations.

Tubes without real names cant win and an true tubes addicted knows what I am talking about.
