If you don't mind, then yes definitely. It will allow me to hear the difference between those and the Electron KT88s in the Yaquin before shelling out on new set of cryo'd Svets.
I'll send you a PM
Indeed. I prefer the Electro Harmonix 12AX7, but my favourite is the NOS Mullard ECC83 - yummy!
The current Gold Lions are "recreated down to the finest detail" (allegedly) by New Sensor Corp:

With regard to the Mullard ECC83 - I'm busy hoarding them
Try to get hold of a/some Mullard CV4004 types, they're based on the SQ version of the ECC83 - The M8137. The most yummy of all!
Brimar's are very very close too, as are smoothplate Telefunkens. If you're very lucky/flush you might find a Telefunken ECC803S - but don't hold you're breath!
Cheers,
Mike.
