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

Have suggested the full KT range apart from the 88 which was included- 90/120/150/170

modern WE is unlikely to do something worthwhile from the point of view of an ordinary audiophile - there will certainly be a very expensive line of tubes (an attempt to mimic the famous tubes of the past) ... all equipment has long been sold, specialists have died, completely different materials ... (just like with wires - now they do not have native Chilean copper) ...
demand will be small - therefore, the price should pay off investments in production ... I don’t believe ...
