NEC had Western Electric as an affiliate. I have lots of Japanese tubes. They sound great. And it's not a wonder. The engineering, tooling, materials, and test methods were essentially sourced from America.

I find some Japanese tubes have a more smooth, detailed, and balanced character than their American counterparts. I especially love the Matsushita Philips products for that. The NEC shares that quality compared to a GE, for example.

May your tubes be lively, warm, and long-lasting. Holy be thy heater.
