RE: NOS tubes last much longer

I'm sorry to hear of all the trouble you had with the new production tubes! I was not aware of that - and honestly the huge majority of people don't have any trouble at all. Somehow you got WAY more than your fair share!! Boy, I can't remember the last time I had any trouble with an EH 6CA7 or 6L6GC Tung-Sol.

I agree with what you said - there are some NOS tubes left that people should try if they can; but even if they can't, at least now (unlike 10 years ago) you aren't just out of luck if NOS is out of reach. And despite Mendel's bad experiences there are now a number of remarkable new production tubes.

Thanks for taking the time to post your reply!
