I have not compared directly to the Gold Lion, but the 12AU7 is one of Mullards finest. It is one of the most rugged tubes and is very good sounding. (very long lasting) For the 12AX7, I think you would be OK with one of the new production premium tubes, they seem to get good reviews. I have seen pairs of Telefunkens pop up here on A-gon from a Canadian seller for very fair prices though and might be about the same price..
Tubes for Conrad Johnson PV 12 preamp
CJ PV 12 takes 6 tubes
Phono stage
2X 12AX7 1x 5751 1x 12AU7
Line
V5, & V6: 12AU7
I would like to get a new tube set that is not too expensive (at most $300 for the set) that is detailed but not too bright and has good extension .. Any suggestion ? Any experience with new tubes i.e. Gold Lion , PSvane ,TJ Full Music etc
thanks
