I use them in my VTA-120 amp (outer tubes) but use a 6SN7 in the middle splitter spot. This has given me the best sound from my VTA-120. I also use them in my Transcendent Sound Masterpiece 300b preamp. Not all 12AU7's are created equal in all gear. Some sound awful and some sound really nice from what I have experience.
