"new vacuum tubes are not as good as old ones

That used to be my line of thinking. NOS tubes were made better, better choice of materials, more consistent, etc.
After trying the latest PSVANE Treasure series, not sure I would agree with that original line of thinking anymore.
The sonic qualities on the T-II PSVANEs are so good, I actually prefer them to many NOS types.
this would include input tubes as well as rectifiers. The VANE 5U4G, is an excellent sounding tube,....
