Thats funny, I asked this same exact question to a local high end audio shop nearby. "Deets Sound Room" in Carmichael, CA if you know the shop. I was giving pretty much the same answer as everybody here. But I bet if you ask that same question today to tube makers, will they give you the same answer or will they give you some marketing spill??
I was personally thinking myself tubes made today would be better than the NOS due to manufacture process today could produce a better quality tube. You would think its being built better today, but I guess thats not what I'm seeing to all the answers. No pride in tube making today I guess.
