The best combination of detail and warmth I have ever heard. Puts the Mullards and Siemens to shame. It has all the detail and impact of the Siemens ECC82 but it is smooth as butter and the mids are so well integrated that it puts every other 12AU7/ECC82 to shame (For me that is). My system is warm and I still think for people with a bright rig something in the way of a 5963/5814A Sylvania GB would be just as nice but it will never match the detail retrieval of this Hungarian tube. As compared to the Siemens it has more bass weight and impact. The mids and highs are smoother and it will provide more detail and especially one thing the Siemens is missing, timbre. Another improvement over the Siemens is the sound stage is enormous, and very 3 dimensional. In one sentence, "This is the most (((musical))) ECC82 I have experienced." At the moment I am using it with the RCA Black plate 5687's but I will soon be trying it with the Gold Pin GB 5687's.
JK I am floored, I just cant beleive how good this tube sounds.
Disclaimer: I am experiencing new tube wood and I still beleive the Siemens and GB Sylvanias to be super good tubes and synergy will depend on your system. I will say this is not short term wood however.
