We will not offer tube modules because of the perilous voltages that are
necessary to run the tubes. It would be necessary to  built each module in a
separate box because of the electrical safety. Another problem is the power
consumption of the tube heating. This would require another bus structure
with an additional "high power/low quality" voltage as it does not make
sense to take the current for the tube heating from the high qualitiy supply
voltage.

I don't see a chance for Doepfer tube modules in the foreseeable future :-(
