Russia, Russia, Russia...

What with the dumpster fire that is Russia/Ukraine we best be stocking up on tubes.

It's just a matter of time for China to be an audiophile problem, too.  Get 'em while they got 'em!

I fear that it will be many years, perhaps a decade before open trade with Russia will resume.  Dave's right that you better get what you need now.

I read a notice today posted by the importer of tubes that said they are completely sold out and not getting anymore. I placed my order 2 weeks ago and got under the wire. I can only imagine what this will do to the already inflated prices, especially NOS tubes lol!

  There is always GAN Class D. I'm set with the Lamm gear for years. Use KR 211's. Rather have no tubes than War.

Small price to pay for democracy.
Just like $5 gallon gas

Yep, bummer.  Going to be interesting getting replacements for old guitar amps.  Stocked up awhile back. 

NOS prices have gone crazy.
