NOS EL34 becoming extinct


There is a thread running regarding whether tube gear is worth buying if one cannot find NOS tubes.  I have been watching the prices of NOS EL34 soar and supplies diminish ( finding quads is quite challenging ).  As my budget has shrunk as I retired I am thinking the unthinkable ; buying new production EL34.  Tyranny for sure!  WIth that being said I wonder has anyone found new production EL34 worth a try?  Before diving down the NOS rabbit hole I had tried a quad of Groove Tube and was quite underwhelmed.  As always your opinions are requested but please no snark.

How did you like the sound of the winged Cs?  I hear they are a bit on the brighter side?
