Western Electric 12AX7 coming this summer.

We need Russian mil-spec 6H30DR. The most popular driver tube of the last 20 years? The NOS, from the 80s - 90s, are night-and-day better than other brands/designs.

I think the big market for 12AX7 is guitar amplifiers. A lot more of them than audiophiles. I'm think this influenced WE's business plan.
