squalle 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 the quad? I guess so but nevertheless, they're all spot the same model number can any1 enlighten why NOS tubes are more sought after? sounds nicer? or just being nostalgic? haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kippei 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 none of the reason above.... NOS = New old stock... means they are NEW but haven been used on anything yet of coz you want new tube or old tube. Tube once at it 95% capacity is = 5% life left Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squalle 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 hmm I know wat NOS stands for, but what I dont get is why ppl want those tubes made in 50s or 60s the tubes we've just bid are like made in 1955 but new, as in unused la. I know abt the life thing. but still those tubes are still cheaper than OPA627 aint they? and opamps do have their life limit too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
