Anyone try Pvane tubes in your Dac or CD player?

I am looking to upgrade the Electroharmonics tubes in my Vincent CD player.Pvane sold by GrantFidelity sound interesting.I have tried RCA clear tops[awesome mids,no highs,no bass]Phillips[awesome highs and bass, flat mids]Any suggestions would be welcome.

I bought two Pvane 12AU7s for my Lamm LL2.1, and they have been great.

I tried their 12AU7 in an EE DAC, sounded bloated and fuzzy to me. IMO not worth the price.

Metralla, Lamm ML2.1!Sigh,I am envious.The only tube amps I've owned were QuickSilver minimites which I did enjoy,but had no bass to speak of so I went back to ss amps.All else is tubed though.I will post my system one of these days,under"budget systems"

Jtcf, I settled on NOS Brimar 13D5 for the DAC. However I found the Brimars a tad too "tubey" for use in my CAT pre linestage where I currently use the reissue TungSol 12AU7.
