Tube vendors.

Hello all taking a break from the kitchen rehab salesmen....
Quick question on Tube suppliers other than The Tube Store and Upscale Audio.
Who are you all getting tubes from and what do you like about them.
BestEarl.

He spent a few hours researching and testing just the right vintage Tung Sol 6550 that ( barely ) fits in my REF5se…… my post in no way to disparage other vendors, just happy w Andy. check out also RAM tubes and the genius that was Roger Modjeski - RIP….

Perhaps the fans here for Jim, Brent, Upscale, Viva, and the other tube sellers might want to see that their guy/biz is worth passing over for Andy. Because if he is as far beyond (in testing knowledge, equipment, expertise in tubes) as you say, then there’s no reason not to switch!
