Re: A STRONG ARGUMENT.... NOS VS. CURRENT PRODUCTION.

I use 12AX7, actually 5751, tubes in my Jolida hybrid amp. I yearn for the day that I can buy a new tube which sounds as good as a NOS tube. My rationale is that NOS are becoming harder to find and their prices are getting quite high. I guess it's that supply and demand thing. Never-the-less, I would like to be able to buy a new tube that sounds as good or even better than NOS. So far I haven't found one. Svetlana is suppose to come out with a 12AX7 in the next couple of weeks, or at least it is suppose to be at Music Direct then. I am hoping this tube fits the bill. If not, maybe one day another manufacturer will come out with one. I am still amazed that the older NOS tubes sound better than the ones made more recently, or at least in the ones I have thats the case.
