Hi,
I'm looking to tube swap my 12ax7's on my Rogue M120

Great sound and they last forever. However buyer beware as there are a lot of fakes floating around out in tubeland. You may want to check out www.audiotubes.com as Brent's got a lot of NOS stuff, lots of tube info and he is an excellent seller. Cheers

I'm curious as to what the sonic benefits are of rare and expensive NOS power tubes (EL34's in particular) costing sometimes hundreds of dollars each compared to new ones that run about 25.00 a pair on average. What are the benefits of NOS power tubes? Are NOS power tubes that much more refined sonically, do they have a longer life etc etc?
