Re: New production 12AX7 Groove Tube "Mullard" or Tung Sol?

Both are very nice tubes. The GT is a bit warmer and more laid-back on the top end. I find the tubes to be similar beyond that - not identical, similar though. Some say the Tung-Sol has better bass, some say the GT has smoother highs.

I am coming to the opinion that which of these tubes you want to use is going to be very system/listener dependent. Not that you can make a bad choice, but some will prefer one, some the other.

I know, I didn't give you too much help - so if you can, try both tubes. If not, go with the Tung-Sols first, they're less expensive!
