It's Just the Cost
Posted by Triode_Kingdom on March 4, 2017 at 11:40:58:
Many people DIY because it's less expensive. The cost of NOS has skyrocketed over the last few years. I think it's also reasonable to say reliability has gone down, simply due to the better examples being culled out. Many of the tubes sold now were discarded by previous owners as being microphonic, unbalanced (twins), gassy, etc.
