NOS tubes


My question is this, why are NOS tubes percieved/ or not, said to sound better than newly manufactured ones, with all the new technology and manufacturing techniques and materials you would think the opposite to be true, but then again I guess it’s the same as solid state vs. tubes,
Thanks,
Rob

The entire purpose of mass production is to cut costs, and today most of what is mass produced by the millions suffers greatly in quality as a result.
That's actually a misnomer. The primary purpose of mass production is to reduce overhead as a share of a product's total cost of production.

Mass production can offer other benefits too, including interchangeable parts, just-in-time inventory and - believe it or not - quality control. Consider that next time you use your cell phone, or drive a modern car.
