Vacuum tube suppliers


mulveling  provided me some helpful ideas regarding tube upgrades for my Rogue Audio Ares phono stage in response to post of mine on the subject of power cords. 

[Roll NOS tubes. Telefunkens are a very good 12AX7. Mazda silver plates are even better. You can use 12BH7 in the 12AU7 slots (cleared with Rogue).]

I'm new to this game and wondering where to look for tubes. Any suggestions?

Andy at Vintage Tube Services has the highest quality tubes and very high standards when selecting tubes. But you can only reach him by phone.

Upscale Audio is has very high quality tubes, and as a result, sometimes less of a selection.

* Brent Jessee now has a satisfaction guaranteed return policy; if you don't like the tubes, he will exchange them.

Very highly recommend Jim McShane. Hand picked, fully tested and matched tubes and a great person to do business with.

+1 Upscale Audio I've had great service, outstanding sounding and as important reliable tubes from them.
+1 Vintage Tube Services. I consistently get better sounding tubes from Andy than anywhere else. He meticulously tests, matches and cleans the tubes he sells. His knowledge of tubes, vintage equipment and practically anything audio is very impressive. As lowrider mentioned you must call him to place your order but that's always a pleasant and educational experience so I don't mind at all.
