Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?

I ordered the Rebel Audio headphone amp from Ukraine just after the war had started and I received it in working order. I had no issues.

Plenty of valve sellers on ebay and even viva tubes is reeling in their prices a smidge. China has Russian tubes also. I know I have a 20 year supply and I will not be living that long.

I have a Rythm integrated which uses 6C33C tubes. They are long lived tubes, but can fail. I have purchased spares on fleabay from fet.audio, a seller located in New Jersey. I believe he is the fellow @armstrod  mentioned in his post.  My dealings with him has been smooth and I am pleased with the quality of tubes.

That said, I purchased a set of Tungsram tubes from the Ukraine in April and received them in about 10 days with no problems.

Gregdude:

These previously $30 tubes are now being offered @ $140+++/each.

Aside from backup sets the OP will also require suitable backup tube sockets due to to the operating "heat" of the tubes.

I offered a link to what appeared to be a reasonable price from a tube dealer in Germany and you offered - what?

I'm leaving Teo alone as my blood pressure is exceedingly high today, though  I do wonder what his AA moniker is as it seems that he's toadally into Rod.

Thanks for all the responses fellows I will look into options for ordering. 

As far as the tubes I will have on hand I will have one set of used outputs and two spares. Not 2 sets of full tubes. Seems prudent to have another quad on hand.
