Dynaco didn't make 12AX7, so those "Dynaco" tubes could be from several origins. You might want to be more precise about what you want.
Can you elaborate on what qualities you'd like to have from the "best sound" for your taste?

Thanks, if I can affort them I will probably follow Tre's advice and look for Telefunkens.

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.
