Lord Valve service comment
Question:
Completely unsolicited… I had a tube go out during a gig this weekend, and it turned out to be a preamp tube that I had purchased from LV recently, and had probablyonly 20-30 hours on it. I asked him about it, and he basically said "Two out of 500 have come back to me of that make. Send it back and I’ll replace it." I like the sound of this tube enough that I’m buying some more from him at the same time. That’s the only tube I’ve bought from him that has shown me the least worry, and that level of service is noteworthy. To me, that’s the kind of dealer I recommend to colleagues.

So much for his supposed quality control.

It’s the only place I buy tubes. I’ve got quite a collection of his "extras" – Floppies that have those circuit drawings, some treated cloths, and solder samples. Steve Ayres

Hi, 2 out of 500 is 99.6% and I’d say that is Excellent. LV said 2 out of 500 were bad. Tony
Response:
You know, I knew when I wrote this that someone would say this. I don’t view it that way at all. Other tubes that I’ve had from him have had zero problems. Besides, as far as I know, there is no way to predict perfectly how a tube will behave long-term. This one lasted 20-30 hours, which would be a rather radical bench test for a dealer to offer…and then he couldn’t sell the tube as anything but used. And, again, how many dealers would replace the tube? I’m sticking by my support. George Reiswig Song of the River Music

Yep, and I could have picked out who it would be among 4 or 5 goofballs too. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I don’t > view it that way at all.

Of the ~500 pieces of Mullard CV4024/12AT7WA I have shipped to customers so far, two have failed. Spin that however you’d like, loser. Lord Valve Businessman

Gee, TP, do some math. That’s 2 out of 500. 0.4%. Who else has a failure rate that good, on something as fragile as a vacuum tube, shipped via hte USPS?

You know, with attitudes like this, it’s a wonder anyone bothers to serve player’s needs in this difficult, not-get-rich biz.
Response:

You must be referring to LV’s right-wing-bad-motherfucker-here-let-me-quote-you-another-piece-of-crap-fr om-one-of-my-favorite-propaganda-websites attitude.
Response:
So much for his supposed quality control. Not too long ago I had one of a 6550 pair go bad from him. (a pretty expensive tube type). The local postal service here isn’t that good. (Trenton NJ, home of the anthrax). I wasn’t willing to ship a tube back, but I was willing to buy another. He offered to send a replacment out gratis and he did. No charge to me and it arrived as fast as the original shipment… QUICK. LV and I don’t agree on most political issues but we agree on ‘customer service’. Get it? stringbend
Response:
Hear, hear! I suspect that, were it not for the world-class flamers on this list who would readily take advantage of him, he would have made me the same offer on my bad tube. Hey, everybody’s got an opinion, and there’s undoubtedly a list somewhere else where it would find a forum. This is a list for guitar amp issues, and it’d be nice for *everyone* to keep it that way. But whether I support a dealer has much more to do with whether they stand behind what they sell than whether I agree with their politics or their posting thereof. He stands behind what he sells.

Fact, I spent over 13K with Lord Valve last year and Im still doing business with him today. Ask yourself why, I can go anywhere I choose. Fucking net trolls suck.
Response:
Anyone who pops off with the "I would never do any business with anyone who says things like that" crying BS should go somewhere else anyways. These types turn out to be the biggest waste of time anyway. Business is business, take your crying, and tire kicking to the local cemetery.

The fact is that I prefered LV when he was just "playing an asshole on the internet". After reading way too many of his reactionary rants I couldn’t, in good conscience support his business in any way. Fortunately there are many excellent amp techs in my area &, as a former electronic component dealer myself, finding the parts I need for my amplifier inventory is relatively easy. jim eppard * (formerly e&e audio, formerly Retrospec inc, currently building Studio in Wingdale, NY)

Yet another customer driven away by Witless Willy’s obnoxious ranting. You’d think the penny would drop for the ‘big guy’ after a while….

In fact, there are *scads* of people who find my unabashed rightwing politics refreshing, and who trade with me *because* I’m who I am. Choke on it, son…the "way things are" is a leftwing fiction. There are *millions* of people who don’t buy your leftist shit. More than enough. Remember, folks…Carville is a *paid* *professional* leftwing propagandist who works for an outfit that has no other mission than to tear down the United States of America. Consider the source.

Many people traded with Krup in the 1930’s.
