T.H.E. Show Newport 2013

Tube freaks got a dose of "valve porn" in Kevin Deal's Upscale Audio room. Deal has been roaming the world in search of NOS tubes and he put on display some of his treasures: musty old boxes filled with NOS (new old stock) tubes unearthed in former Soviet bloc country warehouses as well as a huge trove he discovered by chance recently in Paris.

I figured you'd enjoy seeing the tubes and the old packaging—even if you're a solid state type.
