My dubiousness is summed up pretty concisely by Snopes.

Ah, I was hoping it was, but I was too unfamiliar with your posting tone to assume it.

I just spray painted the outer edge of my truck rims green so that I'll get better gas milage.

i use groove t00bs, simply because im too cheap/lazy to switch valves to ruby or jj/telsa's.

You'll also need to paint flames on it too. It'll go faster.

GT's are overpriced. Sort your life out.

you'll be pleased. i agree with mike that groove tube (and mesa tubes for that matter) are just highly over-rated and re-branded tubes.

Groove Tubes does manufacture a line of 6L6 tubes in the US now, using some old GE tooling. This is not the case with all the 6L6's they offer, just one model.

Yeah I heard about that. Supposedly they are a pretty good match in terms of the quality as they are using premium materials back when that meant something in tubes.
