A Russian tube I wanted that was previously unavailable just went for sale… I didn’t need them but I purchased them anyway… just in case. Anyone hear about Russian supply issues? I suppose it is too early yet, but… PSAudio: Are you concerned? What are your suppliers telling you? Peace Bruce …

They had those as late as early 1970s.

Sort of related. Schiit’s new headphone amp has 10, yes 10 tubes. Are tubes, in general, now in plentiful supply? [folkvangr-front-blk-1920] https://www.schiit.com/products/folkvangr

I heard a lot of buzz that tubes supplies were short but I personally haven’t had any issues finding what I was looking to purchase.

Seeing 10 tubes in a Schiit product makes me want to swear.

I am limiting two tubes per gear now, I had enough of sweat and tears from previous all tube gears.

Well, I guess these Carver mono blocks require qty = 40 tubes so maybe the Schiit isn’t too bad. [carver-mono]

I hope I’ll not have a nightmare on tubes tonight. :money_mouth_face:

Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep

I wonder how much heat the Carver’s produce. Maybe they are Winter amps. Snuggle up to the Carver’s with your honey and some nog.

My main system has 17 tubes within it. Just right!

All are Dutch or American tubes with the exception of one pair of JJ 6SN7 which have been given the Cryotone treatment.
