Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Here's thing.

to produce now with former telefunken tools or "modern" machines does not guarantee good tubes at all!
former experts retired or are dead, their experience and know how is lost.

You are so right..My favorite are the Telefunkens...Anthony and I just said there are some good tubes out there and to say there isn't is just dishonest..While we don't have the craftsman today that they had at RCA,Telefunken,Raytheon,Western Electric,etc,we can't discount the fact that tubes have improved over the last 20 years and as more artful people hone their skills,tubes should get better yet.
Telefunkens have been the best dual triodes and EL84s in my collection and this is why I have so many...I don't believe the new labeled telefunkens are anything like the original and I won't pretend that they are.
