...for your listening pleasure!
Yeah - as mentioned, most often the "Dynaco"-branded 12AX7 is actually a Telefunken. But Dynaco used both smooth-plate and ribbed-plate versions of the Telefunken ECC83. Of those two, I feel that the ribbed-plate is actually a lot more accurate in its full sonic spectrum. You'll get higher treble extension from the ribbed-plate, and fuller low frequencies.
Lots of folks like the smooth-plate Telefunken, and they have their reputation because of their unique upper-midrange emphasis, without having pokey treble that can cause listening fatigue. They'll have less bass content than the ribbed-plate. And if treble is something you'd like to avoid or minimize, then I'd say choose smooth over ribbed. Personally, I hear greater signal clarity with the ribbed.
