A word of warning about buying reissued tubes.
First let it be stated that there may be some great reissues tubes
out there. However before rushing to buy some you should consider a
few things first.
1. How Much meanwhile!!!!!! Are they really worth it?
2. Can a future supply be guaranteed?
3. Are their technical specs really comparable with vintage tubes?
4. Will the seller take them back if their not up to spec?
5. Have they been tested by the seller?
6. Do they really sound like vintage tubes?
7. Will they reliably work as we are used from old stock tubes?
8. Under which poor working conditions were they possibly built?
If the answer to the above is yes then, you'll probably be ok. If not then just maybe a vintage valve that's no longer in production could be a good bet after all? I find most of the old European and some US stuff just wonderful. You pays your money & makes your choice.
