Vintage tubes vs Current tubes?


Looking for opinions on Vintage(nos tubes) vs the new stuff out there today.
I have not had much luck lately with the older tubes I've been getting.
I have not heard some of the new Russian tubes cryoed.
Also open to suggestions on where to find good old tubes.

Which tubes work best with different system depends upon the system and the ear of the owner. I have tubed rolled many different new stock and old stock tubes in various applications, using myself and other audiophiles as judges. I have yet to find any new stock that outperforms good old stock, even new cryoed tubes(they are an inprovement but tend to be fatigueing over long listening periods).Tell us what equipment you are using tubes in and what tubes you have used
