Parts/Audio Connexion are real and honest places to purchase Hi Fi components. I have purchased many items (tubes, gauges, wire, TT for my son, IC's, capacitors etc..) there, both on-line and in person. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and honest, The retail store is well laid out and very "laid back".
If they sell what you need and it is at "the right price".... well... the rest is up to you. I know what I would do if I were you.
