@dill I concur the Matsushita 7DJ8 is an excellent tube sadly it's increased quite a bit in price from $35 to $50 per tube. My preamp uses 6 so it's now sadly out of my price range, at least these days.
Are all of these NOS tube inventories real? How have we not consumed them already?
As I've been shopping for new tubes for my preamp, I've really begun to wonder, wouldn't the current and recent population of audiophiles of the last few decades have bought and used up most or all of these vintage NOS goodies from all of the current inventory, secret stashes and newly discovered cases of NOS...?
What's your take?
