@rocray Very cool- thanks for the link!
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

@tooblue WE never made a 6SN7 tube. The Chinese companies coined the name "Western Electric" for a series of tubes they started making a few years back- PsVane has them as well as Linlai. It's just a name that they picked up after the branding had worn out and the company had all but vanished (just like the British "Cossor" name that PsVane had on one of their lines). It's simply cheap marketing, and more so likely the fact that nobody has filed a cease and desist order on them (yer) ;-)
Best, Aric |
@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 |
@aricaudio - Ignore my comment about there being a prior thread, the only important thing is for folks to know that WE has some tube production capacity and are looking for input as to how to potentially put it to best use based upon user input. Thanks for helping with getting the message out I went ahead and started a thread on WhatBestForum the other day with the link |
