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.

Would like to add another vote for Vintage Tube Services.  Andy is exceptional.
Andy's tubes good alternative to the others and maybe better in a lot of ways.
I placed an order with Andy at VTS - great to talk to and knowledgeable.  

Said it would be a month until he could ship and that didn't happen... nor did the charge to the card so I went back to Brent Jesse.  Prompt shipping and service.
So I placed an order for KT170 (awesome sounding tubes) with Viva Tubes, prompt confirmation and updates throughout the process had my package in 3 days.


Andy is one guy so he can get backed up. But he delivers the goods. Brent Jesse is great too and fast in my experience. But I care about the tube not about the wait.
