Just to set matters straight, this guy has been selling these for years, before ROAS started selling his.
I had a pair off him four or five years back, and they're decent, well-made kit, very similar to ROAS's ones.
He stopped selling them a while back due to ill-health, but he's now back in circulation, and actively selling them once more.
If you look back on the forum he has been mentioned a few times.
Let's face it, APE was first, but there's nothing stopping anyone making their own copy and selling them for what they can get; it's called a free market.
Ape's are anodised, and the wrong colour, that the only difference AFAICT.
And if someone buys a set then finds that they could have got them cheaper, they haven't been ripped off, in my opinion, just paid the price of not doing enough research.
And even then it's cheaper than new valves.....
