Just a reminder.........we have JJ, and then Chinese tubes from which to choose.
Or......we can just ignore the situation and "hope" it does' nt spiral out of control.
Let's reward the manufacturers who's people refrain from invading others.

In this case......Yep.
At least JJ & Chinese makers are'nt hoodwinking us into thinking we're buying.......Tung-Sol.....Mullard......ect.
In fact, these supposed reproductions seem to doing their best by "branding" to distance themselves from being Russian tubes. Moreso, they do it with the ridiculous advertisings of being "creamy....crunchy....ect"
JJ at least describes the tolerance of assembly...and testing procedures.
As a tube amp guy, the last thing i want to do is to endanger one of the few producers of tubes, but sometimes there are higher principles involved........especially when other choices are available.

I'm only saying we should excersize our choice.
I choose to use nos.....and in the case of new production, staying away from tubes MADE by fascist.

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits ...

You can come up with a reason not to buy something from almost every country on the planet.

I believe if we (from this forum) stop buying Russian tubes their economy will fall apart soon, as well as their military capability. :lol:

Obviously many patriots here, fondly recalling the origins of rock n roll.
Would guess that many here would have had no problem purchasing Telefunken tubes back in WWII.

Since you seem to be sitting so high on your pedestal, how did you come to the conclusion that China is a politically correct source for tubes?
