Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?

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

I'm not expecting WE tubes to be inexpensive,  I  just bought two pair of 300b.  What I do expect is for them to be of high quality.   

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

LOL. They'd be much better of with a $3000 power cord.

@tony1954 okay got it. 

@oddiofyl I highly doubt these $200.00 headphone amps have a quality tube in them. Bet the tube they supply is the cheapest part. 

I know it was sarcasm.
