Smart buying buying a preamp with tubes anot avail except as made by preamp manuf?


Why would a preamp manuf design preamp where he is only person making the tubes?

stay away?

My luck. I buy one with a spare tube. Then someone else buys all the rest, all 15 units.. all 30 tubes.. Sounds like a nightmare. to me.. Next thing we read about "what a nice guy he WAS".

Tubes if found are $300 per.  No inventory anywhere.
what if manuf discontinues making special tubes in a few years.  Resale value of preamp is low. 

What are you talking about?  C'mon man, you can't just post stupified posts about nothing!  if you have a problem with a particular manufacturer then make it known. If you are just doing silly high games then make it known! Don't waste our and the moderators time.

No way I would ever buy into that. Companies come and go… tubes require replacement.
