Does anyone know what happened to this company?
Their website seems to have disappeared: www.techtubevalves.com
I know they kept pushing back the release date but now it looks like they've gone bust or something.

The whole Blackburn site closed late last Audtumn I believe, and the valve offshoot looks to be one of the casualties of this. What a shame...
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me
There were rumours of a management buy-out but I don't know if it's come to anything.
The story so far:-

I wouldn't think we will be seeing anymore valves from Blackburn, sad really.
Darn, I was really hoping we'd finally get some well made decent sounding new British valves again. Vintage valve prices are getting stupid. Oh well, maybe they'll get up and running one day.
Cheers.
