It has?? Well bugger, why didn't anybody tell me that before I went ahead and bought my tube-powered amplifier?

Seriously though, and pardon the OT injection, but our ability to produce vacuum tubes is in fact greater today than it has been for a couple of decades. The selection of tubes available is far more limited than it was before, given that today's production is geared almost exclusively towards audio use, but we are at exactly no risk of losing the technology or know-how for the "foreseeable future".
