Not the Psvane but have a pair of 70's tungsram 12ax7 in.  A bit pronounced more gain edging towards harsh but not there

IMHO, too bright, harsh and somewhat edgy ...

There have been good reviews on that same brand's 12AU7 in the Mini-Torii, though.

What about a 5751 since it has less gain that a 12ax but more than a 12at?

anyone try them?

In my system the 12AX7T was a great tube. They came in a matched pair, and at $100, they were worth the coin. No doubt, this would vary from system to system, and ear to ear. I'm keeping mine.

The Psvane small signal tubes take a LONG time to settle in. The Mini does not run the input tube hard so be patient.  ;)
