i'm looking for a dull 12ax7 and 12au7, ideas?

i have a tube amp which uses 12at7 and a cd player which uses a 12ax7 or 12au7. i like to dull the sound when listening to bad cds.

any ideas for very soft and veiled 12 volt tubes.

what about raytheon 5814 ?

They will not dull the sound but NOS Mullard tubes will give you a warmer wetter sound. They will knock that harsh, bright, digital glare sound you are getting from your system.

Just my 2 cents, but not sure the word "dull" is what you really mean....
