I was *really* impressed. They went in my Ming-Da MC8407-C headphone amp, as the driver tube, where they replaced Mullard CV4004, which are pretty awesome tubes. The output tube in this amp are EL84's (in my case, again UK Mullards). Headphones used were Beyerdynamic DT770 600 ohm.
The MicroTech tubes are very detailed, very transparent, yet also sumptuously lush. They differ from almost all current production small-signal tubes I have heard in that they were positively grain free. No haze, no congestion. Very smooth, but highly open and transparent. I was far more impressed than I expected to be, and I didn't expect them to suck. But far more than that - they sound terrific. They are not coming out of that amp - they're in to stay.
