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?
Scratch my head too. I am looking at German made KT88 TK or EL34 TK (Telefunken) too and it seems a few stores carrying them even at BHPhoto. They last long time.
