Yes, "new old stock" not only sounds like marketing gibberish but an oxymoron as well, which is why many prefer "new original stock", which is a more accurately descriptive term for the NOS acronym. This distinguishes the older production from the modern reissues.
Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes?
just wondering, is there something in the design, materials, or fabrication that makes old tubes sound better than those being currently produced?
it seems nearly universally held that old tubes are superior sounding to those made today - is there something specific about the old tubes that make then sound better?
