That is kind of what I thought was being implied. I second that feeling as someone that rarely gets in line to scoop up the latest social/consumer pop crap trends. My equipment uses 5687's in the preamp and 6n1p's in the amp. However I also just shelled out $50.00 to get a nos gb5687. As most posters know, 12au7's can be had for a fraction of that and there still is current production. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any production for the 5687/7199/7119 family. It's not inconceivable that in few years, only 12**7's will be available. So I guess you can't really fault someone that wants to be able to rely on components the will be available down the road. Sorry to get off track a bit. Just curious.
