The Sovtek 6L6WXT+ is a super value & sounds simular to the older RCA 6L6GC in our guitar amps. Anyways, a pleasing sound for sure & tube appears well constructed plus way less expensive than the vintage RCAs.

The Sovtek 12AX7LPS is also a good performer & one of my favorite vintage tubes are RCA 5751 two mica shiney black plate design with twin support rods. The RCA does not always outperform the 12AX7LPS or say by much sonically. It does depend upon the circuit though. The 12AX7LPS is a bargain.

Ever notice the highly regarded NOS 3-mica RCA 5751 shiney black plate often called Command series are a bit microphonic? The two mica are not microphonic at all per my tests.
