In the past I have advocated the use of certain Russian-made tubes. Well I am off those. Truth is I have more than enough in my stock to last for my own personal use for many years. I still do some work on other players gear though and it looks like JJ will be my only source for that. Folks might want to pick up a few sets of 6p14p tubes from trusted sources though since they are mil-surp and already manufactured and imported.

I have a few sets of the Russian 6p6s (6v6) tubes, and like them. I also have a set of Chinese military 6p6p tubes in an amp and love them. I actually have 2 sets of Russian OTK tubes on their way from the Ukraine. I hope Putin doesn’t snatch my tubes!

Well, I think that’s actually something to consider if things go REALLY south with our relationship with Russia. Maybe not so much for the smaller guys selling RU NOS stuff, but guys like Mike Matthews who owns a couple of tube factories there may find business more difficult. Let’s hope not, but it’s hard to forecast.

The whole world just seems to be in a terrible place right now. Just think if you lived in Ukraine and what impending doom is forecast for them. Makes a tube sourcing issue a bit mute.
At work today we had our cloud ERP (netsuite) down for about 2 hours. Slack, which we use for communication at work was down for a couple hours. 2 (two?) Blackhawk helicopters bite the dust in the US at the same time today. Coincidence all this stuff Happened at the same time? It's a little too unnerving for me.

There are just some things I consider more important than what tubes I put in my amp.
