gotta wonder how much longer and at what price these things will be made. So much handwork and time. Also shows why so many tubes of modern manufacture, fail. There's so many places during the making that if not done perfectly, would end up being a weak link, and lead to it's failure.,,,,,,

These are Hi-End power direct heated triodes - 2a3, 300b, 845 and such. A pair of then cost from 775$ and up to 1000$.
There was a guy who made review of an amp that runs on these types of a tubes and he said that they are not so different from Sovtek/EHX in sound, but the price is 3-4 times higher! The name of a site is "6moon", but I forget what amp it was.
I really want to know how they sound in guitar world, though...
