Post about new production tubes - signal and power tubes - are certainly increasing here. While no expert, I have 10-40 pairs/quads of many old tubes plus assorted singles. Of the new production tubes, I have only tried power tube types that I don't have in the older models - GL KT66, EH 6CA7 - and I found these to be very nice.
But that's it. I don't sub out 6SN7GT, 12Ax7, 5687, 6DJ7, 6414, 7062, 7119, 12AT7, 12Ay7, 12Az7, 5657, 6550, .... for new production. I still have plenty from the 40s-60s.
And I am still buying "used" old tubes.
I wonder how others with good supplies of old tubes react to the sudden surge of interest in new production tubes. Have you tried, or "gone in" for them in any way? Do you ignore them?
