The panic selling of tube audio had begun.

"Suddenly,hate is in vogue."

Not that sudden. If it were not already lingering just below the surface, it would not have so manifested suddenly and magnificently. Hate is now not only in vogue but codified.  Meanwhile, the US has done exactly what the Russian government has done with the aid of it's vassals countless times since WWII. In fact, in the 19th century the US outright stole the sovereign nation of Hawaii without even bothering to falsify a premise. But hey, it was going to waste populated by a bunch of inferior brown skinned heathens so....

@sandbites - JJ tubes are made in the Slovak Republic.... 

So how can we help?

There are many, many charities set up to help the Ukrainian refugees and those who chose to stay and fight for their country, their homes, and their freedom get the basics of shelter, food, and medicine they need to live.

Please, take a minute and donate to the charity of your choice.

For less than the price of a tube, you will literally be saving someone’s life. Most likely a mother and/or child displaced or trapped in this nightmare.

I was browsing the main suppliers to see how things were tonight and noticed how Viva has done about a 4X markup across the board on tubes.  I have purchased from them in the past but will shop elsewhere when things return to normal.  That seems quite excessive.  The Tube Store has done about a 1.5X markup which seems much more reasonable.  That is fair for someone that is in need of tubes now to deal with all things considered.  The Tube Depot is still showing no stock on most tubes and Upscale hasn't opened their site back up yet.  Kev said his tester broke.  I just can't tell about him, I really want to believe he is sincere but my gut says he is not lol.
