#1 ELROG

Post by simon »

A long standing manufacturer of valves in Germany apparently, I hadn't heard of them until Thomas Meyer's latest blog (20 May 2013).

They're manufacturing 211s and 845s and it looks to be a high quality operation, perhaps like KR? It'll be interesting to see what the prices are (not cheap I imagine) but at which point is a 211 no longer a 211?

A quality 845 would be nice.

Yes, very tasty .
The kind of knowledge you have, with someone like him who worked at Telefunken is impossible to re-create with new people in less than about 50 years .
I wonder what else they have in the pipeline ?
