RE: Problem (?) with new 845 tube

I don't normally keep track of 845 pricing, but I see you're right about this. They've become much more expensive than even just a couple years ago. It doesn't seem as though you have many choices in this matter. I have to say, if I were faced with the idea of a system that could only take Chinese tubes or a $2,000-3,000 pair of NOS, I'd sell it. Alternately, I might convert to 211 or GM70, but only if the amplifier(s) were loaded with high quality Western iron. Chinese amps wouldn't be worth the trouble. In that case, I'd try to get one pair of working tubes somehow, then trade up.
