The future of Tubes


Why can't tubes be made today that are as good as the NOS?

I realize that back in the day tubes were in everything and my guess is, due to that demand, there was a higher priority put on making good tubes. Is that correct?

Is is naive to think that with our 'advanced' technology we should be able to make tubes at least as good as they were? Lastly, as expensive as many NOS tubes are getting can one assume we're close to the end of the NOS? (i.e. good 6922's) I'm sure this is the case with the 6H30's.

Apologies if this is common knowledge, I've tried the archives and google.. Thank you if you can share your thoughts or point me to some information.

Thanks,
Mark

the magic formula from some clever pirates would appear to be making new tubes masquerading as NOS. its happening for sure.
