Some may buy NOS as an investment, but most buy tubes to use in their amps. Some great new manufacture power tubes such as the Genelex KT88 are a perfect example of wonderful sonics. That tube substancially changed the prices of NOS & used KT88 tubes. Personally I am glad I sold my Tung Sol KT88s before the new KT88 was offered to the public.
Pre-amp tubes sound different in different circuits thus new manufacture may be the perfect ticket for great sonics that suit the individuals requirements. I do use NOS preamp tubes such as Brimar CV4004, Tung Sol 6SL7 round plate & Sylvania 6SN7GTA. These tubes suit my personal sonic requirements, but may not suit another application or another persons perception of great sonics in their circuit.
A tube supplier such as Jim McShane spends a lot of QC time with regard to selling new manufacture tubes with a guarantee & is not dropping a $50 fee on a tube for that QC and other info such as maintaining a good data base of new manufacture tube high performance applications. After all, NOS will run out.
