It is a fact, the 12AU7 does not perform as well as other more linear tubes and about everyone that performs DIY knows it. It is also a fact many amps are sent out with low grade tubes as a cost consideration. The audiophile community knows this, is perfectly acceptable and will upgrade with other tubes if desired or affordable.
Seeing your are chiming in here as an expert, how many DIY home entertainment amplifiers and upgrades with tubes have you performed?
