... I would have to logically conclude that even though most (I am being generous here by not saying all, even though that wording is more likely true) modern production tubes are inferior to the tubes of yesteryear, there is undoubtedly many differences in design, materials, workmanship, and thus durability & tone, from one tube to the next... |
Thanks Solarburn! I've seen that second (Mike Mathews) video before, but that first one... I haven't seen that one before. That's pretty cool. I'm sure that processes was slowed down a bit for the benefit of filming, and that a skilled individual could likely make tube and tube components at a rather impressive rate, however even that can't keep up with today's mass production. And that is a sad fact. It means one factory can crank out tons of tubes of dubious quality. I guess I was yet again born at the wrong time...
