Thanks for that response FenderLover. It is exactly the descriptive type post I am looking for. I have tried many 12AX7's and my favorite is the Raytheon BP SG. I have used the RCA BP SG and they are also high on my list (just behind the Raytheon). You are right to point out that because one tube suits your current system and taste better than others, it does not mean it is a "better" tube. I also used the Amperex/Philips (it can have many names) LGP SG that is highly regarded and priced. It is warm with lots of body but compared to the Raytheon and RCA (not to mention almost any 5751) it smears detail to an extent that makes it not usable in my system. I suppose in an overly bright system it would be a viable choice. The only tubes that are inferior to others are the ones that smear detail or have a frequency imbalance. All others are tone controls, ditto for cables.
