It really depends on the particular gear. Would an old Audio Research D115 power amp sound better than a current Jolida power amp? I would think so. Alan
The question is too general to be answerable. "Old expensive tube gear" could refer to gear that was produced anywhere from the 1930s (e.g., Western Electric) to the early 2000s.
And of course it depends on the particular model, as Alan indicated. As well as its condition.
