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

My understanding was pretty much EVERY re-issue tube made today is made on the exact same manufacturing equipment they used back in the day.I don’t mean similar I mean complete refurbisment of the old gear.Even with advancements in metal purity I can’t see the NOS and reissues actually sounding any different..
