[Amps] 8877

[Charles Harpole]

I would go with the supplier selling to Alpha. BTW, as a guy who has tried to sort out buying from inside Red China, it is a vipers' nest.  By the time you test your items, the design will have changed because you can be sure that the mfg are constantly looking for ways to make them cheaper, and you know what that means.   Why does the American made tube cost so much more?
