Have been using 12SX7 (the real RCA ones with twisted leads inside) as drivers in Euforia in the past week. Power tubes were GEC 6080, TungSol 7236 and TS 5998. Phones were HD800, T1 and HD650.

Other driver tubes used for comparison were TS 12SN7 RP and 12 volt Sylvania 12SN7 bad boys.

Tonality relative scale: TS RPs are light, extended, and transparent; Sylvania bad boys are sweat, warm, and solid;

12SX7s are in the middle, sweat, quiet and transparent. Mids are seductive, and palpable. Voice and acoustic instruments have more air and bigger presentation. It is similar to SS vs tube.

Treble and bass are nicely present when called upon.

I have used 12SX7 for close to 20 year in power amplifier without comparing to other 12SN7s.

Finally start to appreciate how good these 12SX7 tubes are in Euforia.

Have not tried the other 2 types of 12SX7 yet: the RCA ones look like regular 12SN7 and the GE Canadian ones look like 3-hole sylvania Bad Boys (except shorter base)

Must be played with headphones on at least once. It just might blow your mind
