Wonder what manufacturers are doing for tubes these days?

So glad I've always kept old tubes when I popped new ones in; unless they failed or sounded real worn. I have enough to keep my amps going for a couple years. But I'm curious what builders are doing now that everyone's freaking out 'cause they can't find any?

I guess they're using up their inventory, slowing down production and selling their amps for double what they were three months ago.

They'll start using Chinese tubes if they're not already.

Just saw a post from Hi-Tone where they just received a nice size shipment of red base TAD's

Tubes now=Covid Toilet Paper. If we just chill out and buy what we need, it's going to be fine

exactly. the "tubes are going away" bullshit is already stale.

enough people want them. more will be made.
