So what happened with them? Can US folks buy from Thomas direct?

I've already shed light on why this region is moving to direct sales. Yes.

Anyone have a dead 300B available?
Kevin Gilmore needs help with donations as he brings the MegatronV2 with 4 x 300b with 4 x 6ca7 as current source. Can you say CRAZY.

A dream come true!

Didn't you listen?

Which is their final fulfillment.

Dang, after that it would only be direct from Elrog?

Should drastically lower the prices if selling direct? No cut for the middlemen.

For the US region, yes.

The intention isn't for Elrog to setup a webshop as this isn't a directive they're interested in.
However, the Woo amps establish a precedent that needed to be addressed.

There site list them for more than PCX does.

I don’t understand that last statement. You mean monopolizing NOS tubes and selling them and current tubes at absurd markup? What has this to do with how Elrog sells to US/NA customers?

Woo WA33 is on the blacklist for Elrog tube use.

Jeez. get slaughtered.

 

[incredulousity]

Meaning that Elrog tubes don’t work in Woo? Or that they somehow abused a relationship with Elrog?

Elrog does not support the use of their tubes with Woo WA33.

Ah so they are just cutting out North American distributors. Not elsewhere? This means unfortunately they wouldn’t be able to undercut their distributors.

 

[incredulousity]

Meaning Woo amps are trash. Elrog does not support the use of their tubes with Woo gear.

Having no experience with Woo amps, I’ll defer here, but do the amps kill the tubes, or make them sound terrible, or what?

Feel free to take this to our PM, if it doesn’t belong here.
