Definately not on a smear campaign. PSVANE is brought up in the HAM radio community often when it comes to replacement amplifier tubes and I picked up my info from there. If I was inaccurate as you are pointing out, I will retract that. There is still an issue with the quality of PSVANE tubes in HAM radio and there are not a lot of alternatives to choose from. The prices are also unrealistic.

Russia imposed a ban on the export of *all* tubes. It is news to me US companies are still making tubes. The last I read, the only exemptions are health care manufactures, health care companies and drug makers. Russia specifically banned the export of vacuum tubes. Electro-Harmonix, which distributed Soviet tubes announced earlier this year that they could no longer supply Soviet tubes due to the ban https://www.guitarworld.com/news/electro-harmonix-russia-tube-exports-ban

There is no "Russian tube ban," although some corners of the media have used the Russia crisis for clickbait. Here’s the news direct from New Sensor. I also have first-hand knowledge that ARC is receiving all the tubes it needs from New Sensor, which owns Sovtek and EH. |
