Re: You are right of course

Honestly when I see the same rare tubes come to market in bunches it is then that I suspect counterfiets or a stash was found and sold I am not expert enough to say. Some are simply too much of a pain in the a** to trouble with imitating. Rebranding is quicker and easier but the pros seem to catch them. With 6SN7s so many, as the late Carl Sagen would say, "billions and billions", were made, that there really isn't a pressing demand on the tube making industry to retool. Nor to make them well and have custom alloys or to try and reverse engineer the skills needed to justify the expense. It must have been some wierd press that welded round plates, possibly by a guy doing one plate at a time all day.
To Tom waits the investment may be only "small change". Whilst a fellow named Floyd says its "Money Money".
If I were to model this mathematically it would be a non linear algebraic proof ending up with an entropic fractal. But I'll leave that for you to figure out.
