The fact that vacuum tubes wear out, and that many audiophiles consider the early tubes made by GE, Mullard, RCA, Sylvania, and others superior to tubes imported from Russian and China today, has created a brisk market for vintage vacuum tubes.

Popular tube types include the AX7, 300B, 845, 6L6, 6SN7, and KT88.
