I suspect drlowmu is referring to gold-plated pins. Regardless, miniatures like the 12AXAs simply aren't as linear as their predecessors. They became popular in an era when it didn't seem to matter; the '50s and '60s were saturated with pentode-output amps that of necessity applied heavy doses of negative feedback. However, we've learned a thing or two since then, and we now realize that if you're building an amp or preamp all with triodes, the inherent linearity of every device matters a great deal.
