Poinz, I wish I knew. Maybe they are underfinanced, maybe the New Sensor companies are beating them up. Maybe they've had a brain drain, and lost some critical skills. Maybe they are getting bad advice from some of their large distributors.Mike Samra who also posts here sent JJ a note on his and my behalf. We never got any meaningful reply. The only word we ever got back from them was a slam against the distributor. Like the distributor MADE the tubes!
But the day of reckoning has to be near - you are right, you can't go on building junk forever regardless of how it sounds (if you can get it to work).
BTW, just for contrast - I tested 100 Tung-Sol reissue 12AX7s today. Almost zero defects - one marginal tube... And I test for noise and microphonics too.
