I don’t understand the paranoia about eBay. There are many, many dealers of tubes who’ve thousands of feedback on eBay. I buy there exclusively because tubes are generally much less expensive than other dealers. I recently acquired new Gold Lion KT88, Tung Sol 6550’s, a set of brand new NOS original Sovtek Winged C EL34’s from a dealer in Britain, and the best Grey Psvane CV181’s from the New York eBay dealer who sells nearly every type of tube. I’ve never once had a negative experience with eBay dealers. Simply do your due diligence and purchase from reputable sellers.
Tubes
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?
