Most current production tubes are not of the same quality NOS tubes. This is especially true with small signal tubes. None of the current 12AX7's hold a candle to the NOS types. I've provided NOS 12AX7's to gutiar guys, and they all were amazed with the difference in sound.
I'll agree about the re-issue KT-88's, as they are pretty good. My amps use 1625 output tubes, which I find are one of audio's better kept secrets. They are a 6L6 with better power handling requirements. Very well made, high quality, and not expensive.
