New to the tube world

I just bought a BAT VK 75 amp. This amp came
with 6-red base RCA 5692 and 2-Mullard ecc-34
tubes. I would like to know where to to find
back up tubes.These tubes aren't stock but do
make the amp sound better.(to my aers at least)
Where do I start? Thanks

I really don't think you need to find or buy any back-up tubes. The RCA 5692 rated at 10,000 hours. I don't think you can outlast them. They are not output tubes and they will last a long long time.
My best advise is to sit back, relax and listen to some good music...........

I have had good luck with Triode Electronics, www.triodeel.com, and Radio Electronics Supply, www.vacuumtubes.net.
A fellow named Bill Bittle, who does a lot of HH Scott restoration for me, recommended both of these.
Hope that helps.
Enjoy,
Mike
