Where do you guys buy replacement tubes?

Kev. is to snooty.If you don't mind exposing your genitals / you know / the way the dominate wolf demands of the rest of the pack,you might be happy.( watching to much Discovey ch.)This is not meant in a crude/lewd way. The guy just has to much attitude. But he is the best and has the most access to tubes.If you didn't buy your equipment from him that's not going to help your cause.

Dekay,When I needed to retube my pre,I was told I wouldn't be able to buy any of the good brands because I didn't buy from him. Latter when it was time to retube my Jadis, I thought I would ask. I had no tube preference nor price in mind. I just asked. He wouldn't say yes or no. Said he would call me back in 20 minutes.One day latter,no call back I just went to somebody else. Then he calls on the second day ready to do business.If he was going out of his way to find special tubes/I'd have understood. I was to the point/just asked if he would retube for me.He, up to this point, hadn't said if he would even sell me any tubes.There are some in business who only cater to people whom they feel are big $$ influntial big spenders. And yes when you can't hire qualified people and thus have to run the bus. yourself,well he and Brian have simular practices on how they treat prospective customers. Albert speaks very highly of him. So,I have half of it right. Maybe "I'm" the other half. It would have been a chance to check out his store.I was going to drive out.

This would be for Kev: Ok you have a one man buisness/and thus have little or no time for customers/ or just the ones of your choosing. Fine!! A merchant with not enough time to care for me /but has plenty of time for the chat room to defend his policies/ gimmme a break. Good buisness choice!!If you were a tube buyer you'd be put off by just such a merchant/I'm sure!! AS a sorta local buyer I partly was looking to check out your store. I have spent nearly 10k since that time.(Remember,I was going to bring my amp in) Snooty/ indifference/ don't got the time??? all the same to me. Hire some help,make life eaiser for yourself. Reminds me of the tv ads;"get on the net and appear 20xs larger than you are". What's the sense of attracting more customers than you can service??

Well, Kev.promise I won't add more fuel to the fire;and I won't. The guy in the first sentence of your last response.......... That wasn't me. I don't doubt that there are probably toooooooo many of them tacky folk,that make it tough on the rest of us. I actually had such a friend; he was an embarrassment to go "shoping" with. Every time I put something up for sale I meet "this guy" you're talking about.
