The panic selling of tube audio had begun.

I think it is a bit crazy. I run tube gear sometimes 12 hours a day and hardly ever have to replace any tubes. My tube amplifiers have been mostly as reliable as stones and maybe more so than my SS gear since I've had failures with that. And none with any of the 70 or so tube amps pres etc I have owned over the last 35 years. I design loudspeakers so run my amps much and have to have a wide selection of types. Still while sad for those who panic easily it's an opportunity to pick up low priced tube kit and after a week or so I will most likely be making some lower offers on ads till I get a bite. So if thinking of selling your tube gear because you feel no more tubes ever please do so I have my eyes on a few amps maybe it will be yours.

I think toilet paper hoarding will be making a huge comeback.  Invest in Charmin. 
As crazy as it sounds, we may very well be looking at WWIII,and people will worry about selling their amps,or hoarding tubes. We are very unusual beings.

Not crazy at all. In fact, that's what most reasonable people with a decent handle on actual history are worried about right now. Selling your amps or hoarding tubes will be the least of our worries. And it should go without saying, one's financial status will mean absolutely nothing after this one.

yeah, well, you just proved they aren't that reasonable. It's a possibility that existed last year and will exist next year but not a whole lot more likelier NOW than always is. If anything, Russia's madness will stabilize NATO
