I too would suggest either CJ (if you want the same sound you had when you bought the amps) or, if you want to try vintage tubes, Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Andy would certainly be able to suggest tubes that would suit your tastes, as he's very knowledgeable about which tubes will give the desired result in your amps.
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
