Pretty interesting topic. I’ve heard people come down passionately on each side.
I used to import a line of gear that use the tube extensively. I’ve tried the new production, gold pin versions, and supposedly, higher performing, older variants. At least in the listening sessions I had, I personally didn’t notice a difference. A lot of other people told me the same thing. That said, I’ve heard more than a few people proclaim astounding improvement.
That gives you nothing meaning to go on, and I apologize for that. The place I sort of ended up on such topics was to leave it alone, if I could, and that's actually my recommendation to you here. And if I couldn't, just go ahead, and do it. Even if it didn't pan out, the peace of mind of moving on from the haunting thoughts usually proved more valuable than the actual cost
