Man you guys are like sharks. Throwing the words "scam and counterfeit" around without doing one iota of research. I know I don't post a lot here, but I anm an avid lurker and have been for several years. It disappoints me to see information just flippantly posted.

If you do more research you will find Groove Tubes as well as Harma which is distributed by Watford Valves also relabel this tube and sell it as their own, hardly a counterfeit. They don't disclose where it comes from.

Here is an EL34 test link done by Watford Valves and you'll see the Harma STR gets high marks. This is the *exact* same tube Langrex is selling labeled Siemens and the same as the current and past JJ E34L

This is the exact same tube Langrex is selling which Siemens distributed.
