Q
. "Hey Steve, what the heck are N.O.S. tubes and why should I buy 'em instead of those cheaper imported tubes I just saw 'reviewed' (and advertised...) in BUY TOO MANY GUITARS TODAY and HI-FI CRACKPOT magazines? I know these Russian and Chinese manfactured tubes must be really awesome because they have 'groovy' logos painted on 'em and they're the only ones in stock at the big chain music stores I shop at."
A . 'N.O.S.' stands for NEW OLD STOCK, meaning that the tubes were made long ago but never put into service. 'N.O.S.' American and Western European built tubes from the '40-'90s offer higher reliability and superior sound QUALITY. For those reasons N.O.S. tubes are preferred by professional musicians, hip recording studio engineers and High End audio "nuts". These sophisticated and critical tone connoisseurs generally agree that tubes from the 'golden era' are much better in every way than the Russian and Chinese junk widely available today. While the quality of some imported current production tubes has improved recently, 'N.O.S.' remains the standard for high quality sound. Since 1977 we've sold over a million N.O.S. tubes, many to the greatest guitarists the world has ever known. You've heard our tubes on hundreds of recordings, as well as on countless concert stages all over the world. Try 'em for yourself. Get the best sound possible out of your gear with the right tubes.
