Is it just me or have these tubes really gotten costlier in the last year?

Last year I bought two NOS GE's for $16. Now you would be lucky to find a pair under $30

Crack/Speedball, SEX 2.1/C4S, Bryston BHA-1

Sennheiser HD600/Cardas cable, Beyerdynamic T1 2nd Gen, Hifimam HE560/Hifiman balanced cable

Its been a while since i bought any, but as you say there were all around $6 from memory.

6FJ7's are still really cheap if you fancy building an adapter. http://bottlehead.com/smf/index.php?topic=5811

The price has indeed gone up, but since the SEX amp has been discontinued, I would expect prices to drop in a year or two as the demand subsides to a more reasonable level.
