Smart buying buying a preamp with tubes anot avail except as made by preamp manuf?

Well it's certainly one way to make sure you have a corner on the market. I'm sure I'd make a great milk carton pic. Holding my single tube. "Have you seen this tube"? If you have la-te-da..... :-)

there is no such amp. amp makers make amps. tube makers make tubes.  next!

Moderators,

You do a fine job deleting threads that contain opinions you disagree with -- yet you allow bullshit topics and threads like this one shoveled by @emergingsoul.  SMFH.

Valid post. No need to mention co name that sells good products, so i didnt share co name.

tubes are a challenging area.
