Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Vintage Tubes & Tube Sockets
There is certainly a battle between those who prefer NOS (New Old Stock) tubes vs truly new (which are typically made in China or Russia). It is true that there have been and are some poorly made new tubes, the demand for tubes has remained surprisingly strong and manufacturers who make quality tubes are being rewarded with business. So today, you can find some really, really good new tubes. The Tung-Sol 6SN7GTA/B being a good example. Once these have about 20-50 hours on them, they sound every bit as good as a good, much more expensive, NOS counterpart. Hard to say how long the new tubes will last since the history is not there, but they seem to be solidly made.

This is a superb sounding 6SN7 for the price. Clarity, details and tonality. It hits all the sweet spots and perform like an expensive driver tube in my headphone tube amp.

Thanks for the great tubes. I'm using these in a Schiit Freya pre-amp, in place of the "stock" tubes. It sounds great.
