You have a very fine collection of gear indeed!
I just ordered a new set of KT66's for my Dr Z today.... I had one short out before the St. Pattys day gig on Sunday night.... It was quite the fireworks show inside that little glass bottle let me tell ya! I have yet to try NOS tubes... I am sure the new ones get pretty darn close!
Have a good night

the nos tubes have a lot of advantages. they last a lot longer, i am talking about 10 times or more. the materials and methods used on those old tubes are no longer possible because of environmental and work safety laws. so, no new tube will be the quality of the nos ones. the newer amps that were designed for new tubes are not gonna sound significantly different, but on my old amps i really notice it. i prefer the telefunken pre amp tubes and old rca and ge power amp tubes in my vintage stuff.

Darwin, what's taking you so long to try a Leo era guitar? I promise you will get hooked, or is that what you're afriad of?!!!

Or is it that things are always better when they start, and those treasonous changes in the name of improvement sour people? Guitars today are built to a more exacting standard than they were in the past, by and large, hell even the low end stuff is leagues better than what was around when I learned, only 12 years ago.
Then again, I also do not subscribe to the mystical 'mojo', you get from a guitar what you put in. If the mojo is anywhere, it is you, not the hunk of wood.
