Tube vendors.


Hello all taking a break from the kitchen rehab salesmen....
Quick question on Tube suppliers other than The Tube Store and Upscale Audio.
Who are you all getting tubes from and what do you like about them.

Oh man Earl. I got a couple of guesses. :)

I have bought some tubes from various folks and I know you are looking for someone else other than Upscale but Kevin's always test great and last a long time. (I haven't bought any power tubes from him though.)
I have bought several tubes from various vendors, but found Brent Jesse to be the best. He takes his time listening to you (no interruptions) before recommending anything.

BTW, I've heard that the Qualiton XP200 sound really good with KT150s and 170s.
After trying E-Prey, Upscale Audio, Tube Depot, Viva Tubes and some dude on USAM, the only issue ever encountered was with the Tube Depot. One tube, of the pair, was not up to snuff. The Tube Depot rectified the situation in no time flat.
