The sound seems significantly more organic with less bite, yet not lacking in any detail. More midrange and upper bass warmth.

The sound with the stock tubes sounded a bit sterile and mechanical, with an emphasis in the treble (the bite). The sound with the RCA 12AX3 has less treble emphasis, and perhaps a bit of emphasis in the mids (more organic and less sterile). The changes are subtle, but easier on my ears. Anyhow, I like it better.
