[Elecraft] [K2] Amplifier suggestions?

[Richard Squire - HB9ANM]

A quote from Rod on Vinantenna's (vinecom.co.uk) Website:

 Q2. Is Svetlana still making these tubes?

 A2. Yes, production has started again, but prices are going to be
significantly more than for NOS tubes.
(NOS = New Old Stock)  

I have an ACOM1000 with my K3 but after having read that, I'm not worried. I
have had an FT2277 for over 20 years and the same old 572's are still being
used by a fellow ham...
