Honesty is How This Tube Dealer Built His eBay Business
Sometimes you meet a seller on eBay that is 100% honest, and really knows their product.
I recently bought some pristine GE 6072 NOS NIB tubes for my Shindo Giscours.
The product was advertised as a matched pair, and I received exactly what was advertised.....tested perfectly.
The seller shipped within hours, communicated well, and his price was a little below many others.
I have "0" financial interest in this sellers company.
I just wanted to share a story about an honest seller who loves this business.
He has 100% feedback on eBay, with over 3,800 transactions.
The company is Edwards Audio Tubes, and the seller goes by the name Christopher2159.
Just thought I'd share with the audiophile community here.
Happy listening.

another vote for Andy at vts. Brent does a great job too. I find his prices to be more expensive than Andy's. Having said all of that, I've had good luck with eBay and usaudiomart sellers as long as they have 99% or better ratings. The prices are cheaper and when a tube rarely is bad the vendor reimburses the cost. I have a local shop who tests tubes for a minimal fee, which ensures I have the tubes I think I do. Plus, it gives me an opportunity to swap stereo stories.
Great thread, thank you |
2nd for Brent Jesse. I have dealt with him more than once, and he has been quick to return calls, and more than helpful with advice and descriptions for particular tubes. I would also like to give a shout out to Tyler of tctubes.com Have dealt with him for testing tubes I ran across at estate sales, etc. and purchased some tubes from him also. Both of these guys are first class, and go over and above to be accessible and helpful. I have no financial connection to either, other than giving them my $$$ in exchange for some gas sealed inside a glass tube! |
Glad you aren’t my local customer who buys elsewhere and uses my equipment to quell his innate distrust of another supplier! And why you don’t do business with this EDWARDS fellow off eBay so he can picket that extra 15% is beyond me or maybe that would be giving him a bit more profit...or is whatever he’s make just as well by you?? |

Here are two eBay sellers, that I’ve dealt with repeatedly, over the years, and found honest, reliable and very accurate in their testing methods: angst46 and audiotubes_de |
