That's understandable. But what specific NOS tubes are you talking about? If they are some of the ones priced high like on that website, it might be better to build a different circuit. What is your experience with that seller?hilldweller wrote:If I am building a new amp, I like to use new tubes as well.
Matching 6SL7s and 6SN7s? How and why? Matching makes sense for audio tubes in push-pull. What does tube "balancing" consist of? Money is not an issue for you? For most of us, it is an issue.hilldweller wrote:N.O.S. military us made 6SL7 & 6SN7. Money is not an issue.
Matched and balanced.

That's fine if it works for you. If I am building a new amp, I like to use new tubes as well. Why put used parts in a new car?
