Mike, and others, who use and sell tubed gear, how are you reacting to the news that Russia has blocked all tube exports? Are there adequate Chinese versions to fill the void?
I'm due to replace the 3 year old 6N30P tubes in my C-J preamp, but the Sovtek and Electro-Harmonix supplies have been cut off (for example... www.thetubestore.com - Performing Maintenance)
I'm sure some will be available on eBay for absurd prices, but I'll pass. Fortunately, I can use my new Anthem MRX receiver as a Pre, if need be.
Also, how will manufacturers of primarily tubed gear manage this situation? I doubt there are any U.S. or European companies with the know-how, equipment, or capital, to build a new tube manufacturing facility, and this Soviet "Tube Cold War" is likely to go on for an extended time.
