WTF is Svetlana's attitude?
Looking at the Svetlana data sheets in the ebook group made me look around
and found this site which still has all the datasheets. http://www.svetlana-tubes.com/ The USA/Canada entrance link states that they will not provide service, but if you enter via the other link everything is OK. What's up with them? |

What's up with them? Nothing, and it has nothing to do with their "attitude". They don't own the rights to the Svetlana name in the USA (and Canada apparently), so they aren't allowed to link those visitors to their site.

But I think they could be a little more diplomatic with their web entrance wording; I'm sure I'm not the only one that was put off by it. John |

John It took me all of a minute to look up a proxy server located in europe and visit their site. The whole thing is a flash nightmare. They claim a lawsuit is the reason tubes sold in the US and Canada will have a different logo. If anyone cares I can post some screenshots to binaries. Adam |

Matthews of New Sensor has snatched the Svetlana brand from it's rightful owners, thus barring the real Svetlana from having any activities under it's name in Northern America. No, he BOUGHT the rights to the name from the prior owner (which was a distributor, not Svetlana proper) which went bankrupt. You may not like what he did, but there was nothing about it that wasn't above board. He didn't "snatch" it back. Hey if Svetlana wanted it back, why didn't they buy it? Before you start tossing Mike under the bus, you might want to consider where we'd be in terms of tube supply without him and his companies. Not a pretty picture... Jim McShane Need Tubes?

"Jim McShane" Before you start tossing Mike under the bus, you might want to consider where we'd be in terms of tube supply without him and his companies. Not a pretty picture... Jim McShane with all due respect, you are an IDIOT Mike Matthews and Aspen Pittman have done more to hurt tube audio in this country than anyone I can think of. there is a special place in HELL for those who prey off the less fortunate, and try to trick people into buying the wrong thing by stealing famous trademarks, selling junk as a premium tubes, or stealing schematics and other "lowest of the low" sleazy behavior. It reminds me of people who have semi-legal work screwing people, like pawn shops, check cashing places, rent-to-own, scam infomercials etc. look at how they have trashed the classic tubes brands by re-releasing fake CRAP Reflektor tubes under the revered legendary names of Svetlana, Mullard, Tung-Sol, Genelex, etc. and look how Aspen Pittman ripped off guitarists for 25 years with crappy sounding unreliable tubes at outrageous prices, and then ripped off a bunch of schematics and sold it as a book. these two are the LOWEST SCUM I can think of (except for maybe George Bush, Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft, Bill Frist, Rush Limbaugh, & Karl Rove) |

with all due respect, you are an IDIOT (Snip off the wall rant) I guess I'd be bothered if you had a clue, but you don't. In fact, I'd be concerned if you didn't think I was an idiot.
