Is TechTube still in business?

[Trebor Renkluaf]

The link is dead. I was trying to show my audiophile brother-in-law about them and couldn't get to the website. Are they still in business and just the website is down, or did they go the way of the dinosaur?

Nope, Long gone I'm afraid. I've got one of their tubes in V1 of both my amps, I like them a lot and I was about to buy a couple more before I found out they were gone. The equipment was all auctioned off shortly afterward too. Some of the guys on this forum know more about it than me.

Too bad. I have to admit I didn't think they would last. It's just too small a market. It kinda felt like some guys trying to save their jobs. Oh well.
