Vacuum Tube Prices On the Rise
February 10th, 2008The first shot was fired by New Sensor Corporation, headquartered in Long Island City, NY. Citing increased manufacturing costs, as well as the fall of the US Dollar vs. the Russian Ruble, Mike Mathews ordered price increases across New Sensor’s tube product line.
SED, JJ, and Groove Tubes soon followed suit. Of note is the fact that Groove Tubes has actually lowered prices on some products.
It has taken some two months for the price increase to reach the audiophile/audio hobbyist.
