Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes!


This was brought to my attention a few days ago, and I’ve filled out the form stating that I would love to see mid-priced 6SN7s, 5U4Gs, EL34s, and KT88s from them. I’m not sure how long of a time-frame we’re looking at here, but it appears at the very least that Western Electric is interested in hearing from us! Please fill out the form and don’t forget to put down what tubes you would like to see from them, this could be a good thing! Best regards, Aric

Just submitted my form as well. I am wondering out loud if this has anything to do with the Shuguang WE tubes that are being offered of late, which are quite good by the way, but I believe the factory burn down. Enjoy the music

@aricaudio your point is valid, I do believe that they are building these tubes borrowing from WEs past technology though and there for feel just in borrowing the WE implication, however loosely it might apply. I might also add that the two sets of Shuguang WEs I have are very good sounding tubes and sound awesome in the pieces of gear they were bought for, so there is that. Enjoy the music
