I bought several tubes from ebay, including a rare nos sylvania 5751 disc getter and a nos rca 7025 gray plate, both of which are installed and sound great. You pay your money and take your chances....it helps to look at the sellers feedback. These sellers both had thousands of 100% feedbacks. These tubes were installed into a Tavish Design classic phono preamp. The third tube, a 12au7, is a GE JAN military tube purchased from Kevin at Upscale Audio. This particular 12au7 is one of the quietest available, adding excellent detail, low noise and a blacker back ground.

Im looking to for replacement tubes for my Mastersound 845, 2 of each
Tubes in question: 6SN7 845 ECC802
I bought WE replica 845 from PSvane
now I need 6SN7 and ECC802
I saw new 6SN7 Tung-sol on eBay for about 50$ for pair. There are also vintage Tung-sol on eBay. Not sure how to proceed here. Is eBay a reliable source for tubes? I like their quick shipping and confidence in returns in case something is wrong. What other sources are reliable for aforementioned tubes?
