Are all of these NOS tube inventories real? How have we not consumed them already?


As I've been shopping for new tubes for my preamp, I've really begun to wonder, wouldn't the current and recent population of audiophiles of the last few decades have bought and used up most or all of these vintage NOS goodies from all of the current inventory, secret stashes and newly discovered cases of NOS...?

What's your take?

I recently bought a small lot on the evil site, mainly for the Sylvania Type 80 (ST enclosure) for the princely sum of $12.94 including tax and shipping.

I’m pretty sure it is NOS, and it is a STUNNING rectifier in my Zen Amp.

What I usually look for is a reliable seller who knows how to test tubes and includes all relevant measurements.

NOS has NOT been consumed.
