However, there is no comparison to the expensive tubes from Kron, Sophia, and Emission Labs. These are all in a separate category. These produce a very different sound. It is like this: on the old black and white TV sets, there were controls for brightness and contrast. The NOS Sylvania tube has the controls set quite well, but it is a totally different ballgame from a new color TV. Now, some movies, like Citizen Kane, depend on black and white. It would not work in color. Likewise, the NOS tubes present the music in a unique way the new tubes do not.

This comment of your about “some movies” makes developed nerviness in me.  What in your view in the Kron, Sophia, and Emission tube would not allow them to operate in monochrome setting? Are they so saturated with color that they toss them where they shell not? I do not want to be completely taken away by your association but am a bit concern the you still give some black/white credit to NOS Sylvania. Can you more elaborate on it? Where is from you view is the place where the NOS Sylvania still hold the ground?
