RE: Getting back into the tube amp projects

Nice! Do you typically try to re use older tubes or get the newer replacements for them? I have heard that the newer tubes just don't sound as good as the older ones. Personally, I don't know as though I have ever really heard a tube amp, but I would love to one day.

If I have good tubes in my stash, of the type that I need, I'll use them for my builds. I have quite a few tubes that I got about 30 or so years ago, so I haven't had to buy very many new ones so far. I'm not as picky about new vs new old stock as some people are, if the tube works properly, I'm happy. My hearing isn't good enough to tell the difference, and probably never was.
Fair point. I think for the most part people probably can't tell too much of a difference anyway.
