The important issue is noise. you can only really use tubes tested for noise and microphony, by a really good reliable dealer RAM tubes are famous for this. As is Upscale and a number of others. Whatever flavor you decide upon they above all else must be quiet in a phono gain stage or in preamp gain stage.
The new or current production tubes are more often quiet tubes with no micophony than old stock but not as good sounding tone wise. The German tubes are known for being quiet and hatend to have a clean fast signal.
If you can afford good quiet ANOS Teles I would give them a roll.
The former Ei made a tube so lively and shiny it was called the silver bullet. Too thin for me but a fast sparkler, as the name implies. To get them now you must buy them as NOS tubes and believe it or not they aren't all that easy to find.
The current production, Russian Tung Sol gold pin for a straight forward sound leaning only a tad to the warmer side, has rich mid bass tone.
Haven't tried the New Blackburn tube yet but it seems to please those who have.
A brighter sound was part of what made the Shuguang 9th ed. or 12AX7C special. Yes I am serious and you can't find them any more. The B ver. or 8th ed. is what is being offered.
