New tube amps seem to be showing up all the time based on what I see in audio magazines, more tubes are used for guitar amps than home audio will ever get close to. Tubes don't seem to be going away any time soon.
EveAnna has sold her biz
Ralph Karsten has been vocal as to the uncertain future of tube gear. This is a punch to the gut. My totally unsupported hunch is that EveAnna has the same concerns. I always wanted to have one of Manley's 300B amps. I don't know now. I am a very happy owner of a Steelhead phono stage for ten years. Eventually the outboard power supply will fail (they always do) and I may be without the ability to have it serviced if this new owner ends up closing shop.
