Interesting, I wonder if they really replicate the sound quality of real tubes? Not that my ears could tell the difference.

Now I just need them to make the 6LQ6......

How do you recap a tube?

This innovation is largely the result of the trade embargo against Russia. Most of the worlds tubes came from Svetlana of Saint Petersburg. Not anymore, so guitar amp owners, vintage stereo nuts, and others have been having trouble finding replacement tubes. So some bright person came up with these, uh, solid state tubes..........

And Mike Matthews "New Sensor" plant in Saratov. Gotta figure guitar players are singing the blues, too.

Pretty darn amazing. Like a ship in a bottle. I wonder if they're in a vacuum.

I doubt they would be just because of the little heat sinks.
I am going to e mail them and ask a few questions.
