That was my perception at the time. It was bad enough that I wanted to get away from tube gear completely. At the time I had a ARC D75 (still have), a Dynaco PAS4, a Luxman CL35/III, a Dynaco tubed cd player (can't remember the model now), a Dynaco SCA35, a Jolida 302 and a VTL ST80.
I had a lot of tube failures and it drove me crazy. At the time I had over 100 nos tubes (mostly small signal), 55 of which were Telefunken 12AX7s, purchased for $5.00 each from the Grass Instrument Co. in Braintree, MA. No problems with those, however.
Fifteen years later, I have had four failures since I changed over to tubes in my most listened to of three systems. They were a Tesla E34L (purchased mid-late nineties, supplied by Quicksilver), a Sovtek EL34G (purchased approx. mid nineties, all 4 crackle and pop), a JJ KT77 (supplied by Rogue) and a 12AX7 (supplied by Quicksilver).
