Yep. But, am guessing there are bans and there are bans. Am guessing if the Chinese ask for tubes the Chinese will get tubes, etc.

Check out the news from Western Electric:
"Western Electric is assessing plans to expand tube operations. Our latest factory is equipped to handle production of multiple tube types and, in light of recent worldwide events, we believe our capacity to do so may become vital to the industry. "While we continue to meet steady demand for the type 300B triode, we want to hear from you regarding other popular tube types ..."

No matter what they do, being a USA based manufacturer, prices will be primo.

If WE is in fact capable of producing a wider range of audio tubes (especially KT types), I wish they would drop their amplifiers (which nobody is interested in) and focus exclusively on tubes.
And personally I didn't need a 5yr warranty on tubes when the Upscale-tested Russian KT120 cost $55 each and I never had a failure in about 60 - 70 tubes over 10 years. I'm not really happy start paying a few hundred (or much more) pre tube for the sake of a warranty and a "Made in USA" sticker. Last edited by mulveling; 03-20-2022 at 07:56 PM. |
