NOS tubes For my Rhea

RWD, you don't need to spend $1,000 for good NOS tubes for your Rhea, and all of the 12ax7 tubes don't have to be as low noise as the V1 and V2 positions, which are the most critical.

Another option would be selected modern tubes from Aesthetix or Jim McShane, although Jim has a waiting list for a Rhea tube set right now.

Best Regards,

Jim Perry

"has anyone bought tubes for the Rhea (or anything else) from Upscale Audio???"

Yes, this past fall I bought 5 Telefunken E88CCs for my Symphonic Line pre from "Uncle Kevin." He was extremely informative about what the various 6922 family tube flavors would provide when I spoke with him about options.

And when one tube died within the 90-day warranty period, he replaced it without issue. So count me as a happy camper.

Thank you all for your responses and advise! I must say that both Brent Jessee and Andy Bowman were so helpful.....I made my decision.
Now I have another question that I will post on a new thread.

Hi all...I am looking for the contact number for Aesthetix but can't locate them. Anyone have it???? Tks!

Call Andy of Vintage Tube Services honest with the best tubes.
