Best Source for Replacement/Upgrade Tubes??

Whatjd,

I would highly recommend Andy Bouwman at Vintage Tube Services. You can check out his website at www.vintagetubeservices.com. He is located in Rockford, Michigan.

Andy has as knowledgeable about tubes as anyone you could find. He basically has been a student of the vacuum tube since he was a teenager.

I have purchased a number of NOS tubes from him. The results of adding these to my system has been nothing short of miraculous.

Good Luck!!

I've had great results buying tubes from Jon at The Tube Store. He knows his tubes and the service is excellent.

I take my chances with eBay. I find it's cheaper.

Every tube I've purchased off eBay has been bad. And one pair of very expensive tubes that I purchased here went bad inside of two weeks. FWIW, I only go with the bigger suppliers now. Among them:
www.partsconnexion.com
www.tubestore.com
www.tubedepot.com
www.conusaudio.com

If you don't have a tube tester, and complete confidence in the seller, be careful. NOS tubes are a delicate lot.
All the best,
Howard

call Kevin at www.upscaleaudio.com
