Vacuum tube suppliers


mulveling  provided me some helpful ideas regarding tube upgrades for my Rogue Audio Ares phono stage in response to post of mine on the subject of power cords. 

[Roll NOS tubes. Telefunkens are a very good 12AX7. Mazda silver plates are even better. You can use 12BH7 in the 12AU7 slots (cleared with Rogue).]

I'm new to this game and wondering where to look for tubes. Any suggestions?

Brent Jessee is very dependable, has a large inventory and offers very good advise.

Andy at Vintage Tube Services has the highest quality tubes and very high standards when selecting tubes. But you can only reach him by phone.

Upscale Audio is has very high quality tubes, and as a result, sometimes less of a selection.

* Brent Jessee now has a satisfaction guaranteed return policy; if you don't like the tubes, he will exchange them.

Mac, I have had some good conversations with Andy, and yes, always educational. The last conversation I had with him I didn't even make a purchase, he gave me info about the tubes I already owned.
