From WE:
“Labour rates in the United States are much higher than in Russia or China. Additionally, the materials we use are of a higher quality. So, the price will be higher."
“For those wondering, however, our plan is not to take advantage and charge an absurd premium for new tubes."
"..... manufacturing a miniature dual triode like the 12AX7 is significantly easier and less labour-intensive than a 300B, for example.”
I'm wondering how much labour goes into making a tube?
Individually, maybe a lot, but mass produced by machinery, then pressing the START button wouldn't be that hard, surely!
