Your Mileage May Vary.
I keep a small stable of matched pairs of different make to just turn things around. They are so close. But I get used to their sound and then bored so I mix it up. I play music, and they are used for video as well. For me, tubes are an everyday thing.
Just a reminder: The WE 300B was released in 1937 and they were predominately used to power the telephone system. They were installed in systems expressly designed to run 24/7/365 with reliability and stability in the forefront of their operating parameters. Thus came the expected 40,000 hour survival rate.
There was no competition. Now we are all benefiting from the tooling being sold to Russia, China, Slovakia and Japan since they are making these little beasties again purely due to market forces.
...and we are still farting around with vacuum tubes! What a world!
