Question for BAT 6H30 tube owners

I'm a long way from needing to replace the tubes in my BAT pre, but wanted to ask about the cost differential in buying them. I've seen them for $50 per tube and then the MUCH higher cost that BAT or one their retailers charges. I've read that Victor has a large stock of the 6H30's..are they different or a better tube than buying for the lower price? Thanks for your thoughts and/or experience.

Hello,

Please check with the fine folks from BAT on this. BAT did buy up the entire stock of the NOS 6h30 tubes. These are called the "BAT Super Tubes". They sell these with their new SE" gear and they are available to costumers at a premium price. BAT also sells other 6h30 tubes that are available from other sources. These are much cheaper. The "BAT NOS Super Tube" does sound better and it's a personal choice if you feel it's worth the extra money.

Good luck,
Tom
