As the North American importer for Yamamoto Sound Craft, I wish that I could have responded to this post sooner, but it was submitted the very day I left for a week-long family vacation. Go figure!At any rate, the original, well-reviewed version of the Yamamoto A-08 has indeed been discontinued, and the last new production unit was sold a couple of weeks back. But the new version - the A-08S - begins shipping next week, and NOT in another five months (you must have misheard me, Lance).
The new A-08S will retail for $2750 including shipping. Granted, this is $500 more than the original version, but Mr. Yamamoto has upgraded the A-08 in several ways, including (1) switching from AC to DC heating, (2) going from a 5U4G rectifier to an 80 rectifier, and (3) adding a high-quality current meter to allow for checking the status of the output tubes.
Cheers,
Brian
