[QUOTE="WhoIsJOB, post: 1106102, member: 23312"] Difficult one this. I agree with [USER=17918]@JonnyP[/USER] - What about our shoes, clothes and electronics manufactured in Asian factories with basically slave labor? AFAIK most of the components in many solid state amps are also Chinese or Taiwanese, excepting the very high end brands, but I stand to be corrected or proven otherwise. Amazon undercutting companies with Amazon Basics? Our cellphone companies stealing our money (my data just disappeared again the other day, and I was mostly on wifi the whole time) If the tubes I can get happen to be Russian and offer the best quality (e.g. Gold Lion) I'll buy it, because I simply cannot afford KR Audio tubes. The Russians also make good pedals for guitarists and bass (e.g. The OG Russian Green Big Muff Pi, Shiftline Olympic MkIIIS) and don't necessarily support their government just as much as many of us don't support ours, but they want to make something of value to the craft of their passion. That makes me think about supporting the craftsmen while I don't support Putin and the war. That said, my bank account doesn't support either of them so that leaves me hanging anyway. [/QUOTE]
