No shortages of Russian tubes and China is not the lessor of two evils.
Do you Know a Trusted Seller of Chinese Vacuum Tubes?
With the terrible Russian offensive/war and the drying up of NOS tubes, I ventured more deeply into Chinese tubes.
Does anyone have a recommended seller who might actually test for noise/microphonics? I wish Kevin Deal's outfit would start carrying some of the premium offerings. I'm surprised he doesn't given (I think) Primaluna branded tubes are likely Chinese (Shuguang, maybe?).
Some of the Chinese preamp tubes I've tried sound glorious. Getting them without noise can be a challenge.

Some yes and some no: https://www.tubedepot.com/t/tubes/preamp-tubes Some JJs can sound good. Prefer to support neither and put my tube gear away. |
