This thread is crazy. Especially when the part IS available second source.
Parts dissapearing is something that scares the heck out of me as I see more and more of them go(i've been searching for lots of unobtanium lately)
But the 2164 has been slated for cancellation for awhile.


Why not support the stores who carry the v2164? Or THAT?

Btw....i just noticed cool audio sells a vactrol now too!
