I currently have an Audio Research Ref3 which uses the 6550 tube. I recently swapped out the standard supplied one for a NoS Tungsol late 1940's Black plate tube.
Because I'm new to tubes can some one tell me why New Old Stock (NOS) tubes tend to be better then new? Is it that back in the day tubes were built better? Have things changed that much?

I'm with you on that.That said I don't buy NOS tubes because they are ridiculously expensive and modern types are pretty damned good.
I'm with you on that.
