Many people continue to argue about whether cables/ op-amps/ DACs really do sound different but discussions about tubes just seem to be ignored or brushed aside as tubes sounding different seems to be accepted as a fact by everybody. We all heard it, didn't we? but I failed to come across any measurements.
I am also curious about why NOS tubes are supposed to be much better that new issue as today's technology would suggest new one should be better designed and built.
Is there any research explaining the differences? plate construction? materials used. Can you design a tube to have a particular sound?
