You want a link to prove that tubes wear out?
everyone that uses tubes knows that tubes wear out. I'm talking changes over the first few hundred hours with brand new tubes. This is not the first time I'm hearing it, it's happened before with other tubes I have used that were new not NOS or USED already. Those others I never heard changes like this, that's why I'm even puzzled but just reporting what I'm hearing with these Linlai tubes. The JJ 300b's I got new when I first built this Transcendent Sound Masterpiece 300b preamp changed slightly too but nothing like this, they just tighten up a little but not much.

Agree 100%. My experience is with new LinLai 845DB tubes and my Gallo Ultimates. For the longest time, tho probably less than 100 hours, anyone could hear the pathetic bass of these 845 tubes in my SET monoblocks. Then it came on in force and is now quite stellar.
No, I'm not hearing things that aren't there.
Maybe the tubes are developing a higher internal resistance and the damping factor is degrading. Of course, that wouldn't be "better" bass, just more poor quality bass. Whatever you guys are hearing, you can believe it's not an improvement. Frequency response doesn't get better with age.
