snip: Materials should be as good or better unless there was some stuff used during WWII that was so lethal that not even the Chinese will use it, which I doubt. So if the equipment is the same or improved, the material as good or better then the only thing left is the people who make the tubes and the QC.
Two key words: should be.
Should be doesn't necessarily translate into is be.
Materials quality is just one of the problems. The materials are not as good, nor better. If they were, issues related to lesser quality materials would be reduced.
Economics certainly plays into the quality of todays tubes. Efforts to reduce cost too often (not always) result in lower quality. In the end, the materials and workmanship of these new tubes is just not up to par with the NOS.
Stick to the NOS or used old stock.
