Who are you guys buying your tubes from? I was using Jim McShane but.... "3/10/24 News - When my remaining current production Russian tube stock is gone, I will no longer be carrying Russian made tubes. I will continue to sell down my NOS stock and other tubes, but once my tube stock is gone - that's it! I will be exiting the tube business once my current inventory is gone. I turned 73 years old this year - and between the impact of the Covid pandemic and the Ukraine war, I don't have the energy to support the tube business in its current state of affairs. " Cant blame him a lick. I only have one tube amp I am playing with right now and I have several sets of tubes for it. EL34's but would like possibly buy another set to keep in the collection to roll. Besides, these new tubes shit the bed often.
