Damn it! I cant find [size=small]Amperex 6DJ8 Orange Globes '68 anywhere. Mercedesman had some but i was a little too late.[/size]
[size=small]Is there a huge difference between 1968 and 1975 tubes?[/size]
don't people usually vibe that the older the better? anyone knows why?
Might be true for a certain tube, but i don't think it can be applied to vacuum tubes as a whole.
As time went on i'd imagine processes were refined and technologies matured and improvements were made, maybe in certain cases the later tubes cut corners to save costs and used cheaper materials so don't sound as good, depends on the tube methinks.
yeah, I think generally that is how it's going to be I mean, I am not old and I don't need to be old to know and feel and experience old stuff and their obvious hearty quality. And of course a kid knows how made in china flood the modern world. But still, if I can call it a neutral draw, it would come down to preference. I really hate people going negative about either the newschool or the oldschool, or neglecting either's merit.
Sometimes, the best things are oldskool.
OK, that's all I got this morning. Carry on.
