Well, the detail leak is....We will most likely never make production amps again. Buyers are very ga ga over Chinese tube amps at the moment, and have been for a few years. It's really too hard to compete with the labor cost in China, my guys starve as it is, but I could never ask them to work at a competitive rate to the Chinese worker, it's actually not legal in the US...thankfully!
I love my amp prototypes I have at the shop, but that's as far as I think it can go unless an equal playing field emerges for world-wide workers.
