  • Westinghouse to make tubes again in US

    The prized retro audio components are mostly manufactured in Russia and China. Now, a small Georgia company is rebooting US production.
    It's weird, because it WAS working fine.....

    I had been wondering which models they were considering. Good to know it's all the most common ones we need. Now it's just a question of which end of the pricing they will be going for. I'd be willing to pay a bit more than JJ prices for something more consistent and reliable, but I have a feeling they will be going for the premium end of the market.

      Cost of operations in the US vs most foreign nations is probably going make pricing quite a bit more than JJ, I would imagine. Then there's the materials, processing, marketing aspects which could well drive them to the high end of the market.

      The fact that Russia is at war is a good opportunity to seize this market though.
