I’m sure everything you guys have ever enjoyed would pass great scrutiny for never harming anyone anywhere along their supply chains 🙄
Get off your high horses. Some of us just want to buy tubes to bring some musical joy into our lives. It doesn’t need to be sensationalized as a matter of good vs. evil. We just want some damn tubes. These ADHD boycotts are out of control and they never achieve anything (except to further divide us).
You can hop on Reddit and watch Chinese factory deaths for days on end. Hope y’all toss out your smartphones and stop buying all those other Chinese made wares (which I guarantee you have), because you know, people are dying!
Personally, I enjoy the tubes I have. I'll be buying more tubes, and some of these will be Russian. I'll continue enjoying my tube-powered tunes and sleep great at night!
