For one buy NOS vintages tubes night and day better built then tubes from China and Russia,small tubes ,NOS tubes can get pricy. go to Brent Jesse recordings , he has a rough breakdown of their sonics. If you need help on sonics of a specific size shoot Me an email I have been voicing tubes for 45+ years .
But reading up on them and each brand has its own flavor
as well as older the better ,anything from 40s- early 70s was built to a much higher standard , there are a few tubes today made to very high standards but rare ,from Europe, Japan , even U.S made Western Electric depending on tube type and can be
$$ pricy.
