I'll take as many NOS Mullard or Amperex EL-34's as I can for $100- each! How about some Gold Lion KT-88's, while we're at it :-)
Overpriced Tube Amps
I love tube amps, Ive owned many solid state the great ones, Blah Blah Blah. Ive been watching the prices increase on these old designs now 20 year old units going for 50% of original cost rusty old xformers and all. Dont be stupid when purchsing these things. Id love to name brands but i wont. Another thing is the prices some people charge for tubes 100 each? These things cost $3.00 new. I know they can make or break that 4500.00 tube amps sound but come on.
I have a 30,000 system and have yet to spend more then 15.00 each. I dont get it.

Ralph, you are right, and so is Pbb! You are correct in the inflationary aspect of various products (excluding cyclical booms & busts...and one should be VERY careful if planning to buy real estate now!) Pbb is right concerning the whores who will exploit the currency exchange markets, to rip off consumers Here is a link for a currency converter, which will give you close to real time exchange rates, for currencies worldwide. This is the average exchange rate. Don't forget that there is a bid and ask price; if you want to BUY currency, you will pay the ASK price [higher]. If you want to SELL, you will pay the BID price [lower]. |
