This is a good observation. Even in fine dining, a restaurant will need to pass along a % of food left over rather than chuck everything in the trash each night. 

 
I had a good source for them, but even he is now out of them. I bought 3 pairs from him and all were brilliant. I asked him if he was expecting more and he said that he thought likely never.

In the long run (or tube rolling in dog years

 ) you may actually end up saving members a lot of money. How many of us looked back a year or two later at purchases to "get there?"

I don't even want to know how much $ I've spend on tubes through my journey.

 If I can save a few members a few bucks, then why not.

I've no problem with slipping behind someone who has done it before me and drafting. This way can $ave time and energy.

Someday I might just suck it up and get a pair of WE-421A's. It's not like they're seasonally priced... or coming down in price any time soon.

Last time I checked ebay, they were over $500 a pair for GEC 6AS7G

It took me a year to come to grips with the TS-BGRP's. They too, went north of $500! Eventually, a fellow member wisely asked "You're aware the price is still rising, right?"
 
I jumped down from the fence and ran into the house - took delivery three days later. Couldn't have been happier at the time!

FWIW, I preferred the RS1s by a good margin over the GS1000s.

I spent a couple of hours with the RS1's running through both the Dragonfly and the Wadia 121. I enjoyed them very much. Nice variety from my 650's

I put my Conti GP4000s tyres on a couple of weeks ago.  No idea why I waited so long.  So much better for braking and cornering than the crappy Schwalbe's that came with the bike.  Still trying to figure out how to strap my WA22 to the bike and maintain riding weight.

So far, so good with my own Conti GP4000s'! And unless you go "IEM's," wind noise may present you with another problem beyond the Woo.

I sold off my 2399s, (2 pairs), and kept my 7236 power tubes. Nothing wrong with the 2399s, I just prefer the Sylvanias as they sound better to me through a wider variety of headphones.
