Jackd,
I am glad you have a nice supply of vintage tubes. And envy the fact that you picked them up two decades ago so you have a good Supply. But I'm curious what experience you have with the new production tubes to be sure that your opinion is based on fact and experience? I'm not trying to pick a fight, and I'm sincerely asking the question. Have you tried the new production tubes? As a 6sn7 addict I've read a lot of threads where people have gradually come around to really appreciating the new production Chinese tubes. And saying in some cases that they prefer them to the New Old Stock tubes.
