Tubes getting hard to come by?


Hi All,

I've noticed that both Upscale Audio and the Tube Depot are running out of tubes, or, at least, they are limiting buyers to ONE TUBE PER MONTH (UPSCALE) or simply out of many popular tubes.  Am I imagining this, or is the pandemic, or something else, causing a dearth of available tubes?  Might this be a bad time to buy a tube amp because of this?

sometimes i wonder myself... 😂

it is a such hard, worried-filled life we lead in expensive-tube-amp owners tip-top-1%er land... oh, and then you get old, go deaf and die... wonder how the tube amp aficianados in kyiv are getting tubes these days 🤔... btw i hear there is a quad of kt120’s to be found in the aiming mechanism of bt7 russian tank turrets 🙄

i do hope you find a source a source of cheap plentiful reliable good sounding tubes soon... or at least the reassurance you seek from others in this oft-suffering, deprived community of ours
