NOS tubes

My question is this, why are NOS tubes percieved/ or not, said to sound better than newly manufactured ones, with all the new technology and manufacturing techniques and materials you would think the opposite to be true, but then again I guess it’s the same as solid state vs. tubes,
Thanks,
Rob

I always enjoy talking to Mr. Deal. Very informed and reasonable man. He is, in his arena, an artist and artists are sometimes misunderstood.

Yep, not a fan of Kevin Deal on the phone or in person.

Mr. Deal must be a somewhat polarizing figure.  Not that long ago a thread was very active about bad service from Mr. Deal.

That's a nice amp wownflutter, but I can't tell you who would be the best tube dealer for you.  When you get ready to try rolling I'm sure there will be people here who will be happy to offer advice.  Enjoy!
