In Reply to: NOS vs New Tubes posted by AudioSoul on May 31, 2016 at 13:23:21:
Go on the net and watch how vacuum tubes are made. Extremely labour intensive, from the glass blowing to the hand assembly of the internal parts. How much would it cost today to make tubes of the quality of an Amperex or Telefunken? Does the skilled labour even exist to make them in any kind of quality? Do guitar players(who are 90% of the vacuum tube market) want to pay for this type of quality?
It is easy to understand why "premium" quality tubes (like Psvane or Treasure) cost 2 or 3 times the cost of standard guitar tubes. It costs that much to make tubes that are comparable to good NOS. Might as well just buy NOS when possible.
