About a dozen years ago I famously swapped four totally dead Mullard EL34 for a matched quad of 300B plus a pair of matched 845 plus some other stuff I cannot now remember (possibly some milspec Chinese 6SN7 equivalents). The guy who gave me all that for four totally dead Mullard EL34 was a Japanese dealer, not some innocent on Ebay. He knew exactly what he was doing, and made a profit on the deal... (Bret Ludwig, eat your heart out, the "ollies" are so much smarter than you.) That deal alone totally justifies the million dollars odd (at current rates) that was spent on my education. It also jusfifies the Japanese decision sixty years ago enthusiastically to become more Western than the roundeyes. And it explains why the key indicator of sonic bliss (class A operation, at its most unsullied in SE amps) was kept alive in Japan through the dark transistor days, until reimported through France by Jean Hiraga. The Japanese have respect. It is a valuable commodity.
