I use this tube in my Stereomour and think its wonderful. Parts Connexion has them on sale right now for 69 a pair. Usually 99 a pair.  I ordered one form China for 65 for ONE!
 
I'm going to throw in another recommendation for buying a used Telefunken 12AT7 on eBay, which can usually be had for about $20.
 
If I bought a Telefuken for $20 and it sounds s good as this $65 Psvane it would really depress me, so Im going to remain happy in my ignorance. I did however buy a $10.50 Mullard which sounded fabulous until I put in the Psvane. The Mullard however was a wonderful rich warm mellow sound that I loved. Just not as much detail and resolution as the Psvane. I'll have to start looking for a Telefunken.
 
Other then the sound the thing I like like most about the Mullard is the flare up when you turn it on. Don't have any other tubes that so that. Cool!

  Good luck in your search. We keep trying. Personally like the Mullard more than the Psvane.
I think the reason the Psvane works better for me is that I have server hearing loss and the higher resolution of the tube helps. Other then the resolution, the Mullard's sound is had to beat!
 
Jeez, sure hope you don't like it better then the mullard or psvane! There are a lot of things I need other then another tube$$
 
  At the moment I'm listening with a Hewlett Packard12at7. Just fired it up. When she's warm I'll sit and listen.

  I finally found a Telefunkin. We will see how this stacks up. The JJ  is also a nice tube.

Telefunkin up and running. Granted it's only been a 1/2 hr. but I can hear a marked difference. Real strong mid's, slightly rolled off at the top. After a while I spin some lp's I know by heart.
