I guess its a tough business audio is. My tube gear designer has downsized his business model. He now just sells PDF file plans for his best legacy products. And the small parts for those models. He calls it, Bag-of-parts. No chassis, transformers, big chokes or tubes. Actually he's omitted tubes for some time. So, his business is really geared for true DIY builders now. Guess he's semi retired from the trade. He did quite a few products over his 30 year run and maybe he's just at the point that the ideas for new gear is stretched thin. Just a guess. But, tube gear is kind of a tiny niche in the scheme of all things audio. OTL tube gear even more so.
Alpha, that period inbetween and omega.
