12AU7 Genalex or Psvane for Cayin Hybrid Integrated H80A

I would pick the VANE 12AU7 over the GL.
If you want a bit warmer sound, try a set of GE 5814 triple micas, they are a really nice tube.

I am not a tube expert, but I have actually listened to a PSVANE 12au7.  They are excellent tubes.  The PSVANE is not a warm sounding tube like some others.  It is definitely a very high resolution and detailed tube.  I think it's even better than the Electro-Harmonix.  The Electro-Harmonix is another high resolution and detailed tube, but it could be seen as somewhat sterile when compared to the PSVANE.   I have no idea how the sound compares to the Genalex.

johnss,
How does the ’VANE’ compare to GL? Don’t know if GE 5814 is compatible w/ my H80A. I do feel GL is warmer than EH in my system. EH is ’harder’ by comparison - more listener fatigue; GL much less fatigue.

auxinput,
I do prefer the warmth of the GL currently running; was put off by EH hardness once I replaced them w/ GL; didn’t know the difference until the swap. Was pleasantly surprised w/ 1st listen of GL. I am somewhat hesitant to go w/ Psvane since some say they are bright - but perhaps system dependent.

I already have incredible resolution/detail, and dynamics with very tight bass, yet still warm sounding to my ears. I may want to try something different, hence the Psvane under consideration.

Anyone actually carry these in stock near the Pacific Northwest? I am only finding them available to order online coming from HK/China.
