I've reground two valves in the last fortnight, albeit in 50 and 80 year old engines, The latter having valve cages to improve maintainability.

We're straying from the subject of audiophoolery though.
The trouble is that the people who design stuff think that the need for repair has been designed out. And maybe even tested out (though it's not possible to test quality into something). But nobody is perfect, especially overconfident young Engineers who haven't seen it all before.
