Western Electric was, and still is, a fascinating company. Although it shut down completely for a while, a very tiny version of it restarted in 1996 under the Western Electric name for the manufacture of it's signature electron tubes. They are used in more expensive amplifiers for guitar and other instruments for stage performance, recording equipment in the best studios, and high-end, REAL expensive home-listening systems for discriminating audiophiles.

Fortunately, all this is a growing market, with more and more artists refusing to have their music recorded in an all-digital, solid state studio, as much of today's garbage is. Some of it on laptop computers, FFS. There is also a growing number of listeners who can hear the difference, and won't tolerate it anymore, either.
Rant over. Thanks from listening.

Before about 1980, most decent amps used 6L6c vacuum tubes...I owned a Peavey back then. 2x12 inch speakers, Reverb, and when set on 10, and run through a mixing board to mitigate the volume would knock down block walls in a small space....lost it to a flood in 83 or 84000000120465455-00-600x600.jpg
