Interesting, I wonder if they really replicate the sound quality of real tubes? Not that my ears could tell the difference.
 
This innovation is largely the result of the trade embargo against Russia. Most of the worlds tubes came from Svetlana of Saint Petersburg. Not anymore, so guitar amp owners, vintage stereo nuts, and others have been having trouble finding replacement tubes. So some bright person came up with these, uh, solid state tubes..........
