Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies

Appreciate very much the message not to panic from those with much more time/experience with the tube audio scene than this 1st time tube amp owner. A lot of the sentiment that one can always score NOS at the drop of a hat is very little solace to tube gear owners of meager finances who stretched the budget just to get into the hobby though. $200 a quad for GL KT-77s was a once-per-decade extravagance and $100/quad (Mullard EL 34 reissues) was “pushing things but doable”. I don’t think I’m the only one in these circumstances…..Will there be light at the end of this particular tunnel? Unclear at best. 🙁

@tksteingraber He gave reasons as to why panic is not justified. You just attacked his character. I have no personal feelings about Kevin but I don't like ad hominem attacks. They are both logically and ethically pitiable.

If your worried about tube supplies buy extra sets and stop worrying about your next tube failure and enjoy your equipment!

@hilde45 understand point taken…. His message isn’t the issue but but the manner in how he does it.. I took this video as  a whiney attack on tube customers character and  others. This isn’t his first rodeo posting these type of negative videos.  Let’s just take a positive non critical approach instead…probably just me reacting to it all.
