Looking for suggestions for a good and trusted tube dealer
Has anyone lately bought tubes from Andy in Michigan of Vintage Tubes, and if so, how did it go? I bought a couple of batches from him about 25 years ago, and I was surprised to see his web site still in existence.
In doing searches for tube dealers, I also found a site by "Brent Jessee." In my past searches I had never seen that site before. Does anyone have experience there, and if so how did that go?
I am looking to upgrade the stock Electro Harmonix 6SN7s in a Cary SLP 05 and I was hoping to find a dealer that people had had positive experiences with.
Another vote for Brent Jessee, for signal (octal and nine pin) tubes (excellent tube quality/testing protocols and customer support*). For power tubes: Upscale Audio and these guys: https://tctubes.com/6550-KT88-KT90-KT120-tubes.aspx (*ditto, for both) This eBay seller, in Germany, for the real thing in NOS, rare Siemens, Teles, etc: |
