Sophia Electric 12AU7 Tubes: Interchangeable with European ECC82

These are among the best 12AU7/ECC82 type. I prefer them over other current production and find them better than all but the best NOS. Their sound signature is fairly neutral like an NOS Telefunken with a bit of Mullard Blackburn richness. I have used them in pre-amp gain stages, and as drivers in power amps. They are extremely quiet. I cannot speak to longevity.
