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....

I'm not convinced Mrtennis is trolling, and without being able to speak face to face, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I've heard the older Mullard tubes are exactly as you describe. Learn the date codes, though, so you don't buy the newest versions, which are universally said to suck.
