Can anybody describe how much of a difference NOS make in the power tube section???
I can easily hear the difference between tube types in the power section (6L6/EL34/etc.).
Is the sonic difference between modern production tubes and NOS tubes as large as the differing sonic characteristics of tube types (given that the current production tubes are a quality brand and not lo-grade super cheapos)???
NOS power tubes????

But not all NOS tubes are greated equal, just like current production. NOS Mullards are THE tube for Marshalls. Current production is very good, but the Mullards are better. But at current prices I can afford to stick with SED or JJ!

Yeah, $300-400 for a matched quad is a good reason to stick with my JJ's.rjgtr wrote:But not all NOS tubes are greated equal, just like current production. NOS Mullards are THE tube for Marshalls.
