Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices.


I have given some thought about going the tube route for amplification but it sounds  like a risky move. None of usual online stores: Tube Store, Tube Depot or Upscale Audio have any output tube available. Are things that bad?

Especially KT types and 6550s. Their prices if you can find them have skyrocketed. 

 

I took a look at VIVA tubes and it seems they are fully stocked. I guess I have been looking for tube in all the wrong places! 😂 

I wonder how much sales have been affected by the tube shortage for audio manufacturers that specialize in tube equipment?
