I don't own CJ gear so I can't say why you would need to purchase the tubes from them, but I'd would expect that as long as you get matched pairs/quads you should be able to get them elsewhere. Both vendors you mentioned are reliable; have purchased new production tubes from both, as well as some NOS tubes from tubedepot w/o any issues
Buying tubes...do they vary???
Been posting about degrading tubes. Thinking I'm in need of new.
Sites like thetubestore.com and the tubedepot.com are out there. I spotted Electro-Harmonix 6550 tubes on thetubedepot.com. By name these are the same as the ones I have in my Conrad Johnson Premier 12 mono block power amps that Conrad Johnson sold me.
Would they perform just the same? You would think so but perhaps I'm missing something. Also, a suggestion of where to buy replacements would be greatly appreciated.
Certainly need to get the performance that I got when I bought those Electro-Hamonix from Conrad Johnson at the end of the day...
Thank you!
Randy
