My experience has been that the newer (chinese) sound great initially, but their life expectancy is much shorter than good NOS
Is anyone making a great input tube now?
We really are all tired I'm sure, of paying ridiculous prices for NOS Telefunken, Mullard, Amperex etc.We have read claims by Soviet and Chinese manufacturers to the effect that the sound of current production has equalled or exceeded past industry giants. Has anyone come across any truth to this?
