Showrooms in/near LA, looking for Tube Gear, Exotic 300B tubes in particular

Hi All,

I have a business associate that will be in the LA area, he wants to check out some high end dealers that carry tube gear in particular gear that uses 300b tubes and also to visit tube dealers to check out some exotic 300bs. Do you have any recommendations? Have already made appointment with Upscale Audio, but that's the only one I know of as I'm based in Chicago. Thanks for your advice in advance!

I haven't lived in L.A. for a couple of years, so who knows if these places still exist, but here are some places that are excellent by any standard.

Shelley's Audio in Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley.

Brooks Berdan in the San Gabriel Valley.  Yes, I know Brooks has departed this life but I believe his wife still runs it.

GNP in Pasadena.

Brooks Berdan ( RIP ) is moving so call ahead. They have Jadis but not sure they carry anything 300 b related or efficient. Brian his son runs Audio Element in Pasadena. Bruce at Stereo Unlimited in San Diego has a few used 300b amps and a pair of Coincident. Randy at Optimal in Santa Monica is ARC but will know.
