Vintage TUBE stuff is the latest fad of PRO-AUDIO, so that stuff is all

The problem with NOS is that the glass is slightly porous and the valves
will have gone a bit soft by now. Why would you pay four times as much
for a valve that will be below standard when you get it, when you can
have a brand new valve, build to a higher standard than the original?
