RE: NOS vs New Tubes

I liked Siemens/RCA 6922 but eventually found I liked Tesla/JJ better in my application. I liked RCA black plate square getter 12ax7 but I found I like the PSVane 12ax7 the best in my headphone amp. I haven't tried any NOS EL84's but I really like the Sovtek/Mullard/Tung Sol EL84's. My favorite 6550 is SED which I guess is NOS now. I know the Tung Sol black plate is the best but I don't know Mikael Samra all that well so I won't be getting those probably ever. So I vote New as being not that bad.
