Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?


Just ordered a set of 4 KT150 power tubes for $139.00 each yes it is more than a year ago but $350.00 each $1400.00 for a quad. 

Simply crazy dude.

And with New Sensor, the Russian government stopped tubes from being exported, causing a supply chain interruption.

I believe this is mutual with the US banning imports from Russia

The executive action bans imports from key sectors of Russia’s economy, such as seafood, alcohol and nonindustrial diamonds, according to the text of the order.

 

That action will block more than $1 billion in Russian revenues and help ensure American citizens are not “underwriting” President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, the White House said in a fact sheet.

 

Banned imports

Maybe if people didn’t buy $200 headphone amps and burn up rare tubes for mediocre sound we wouldn’t have this problem

I was told  by a reputable source that WE will be producing small signal tubes and power tubes .....not might, will be

I would not expect them to be inexpensive.

I must agree with @ketchup . I had no idea what your original post meant until there were subsequent posts to help decipher it.

You have a better chance of finding a dispensary sale. Well, maybe not you mountain and west coast kids.
