Vacuum Tube Retailer Option

Nothing here that can't be bought at Tube Depot! I myself will search and pay for ORIGINAL US, UK, German, Holland, Japan tubes. Not these Chinese, Russian, Slovak cheap imitations! A real, made-in-Britian KT88 will sell for $200 + and last far longer and sound better! Same for the 12AX7/ECC83 - $100 + for GENUINE  UK Mullards! REAL Mullard GZ34/5AR4's are superior to current production and sell for $100 + (and worth it!).

Well sometimes roberjerman, some of us just may need a KT150 and, since there's no NOS of those, you need a vendor like this!

I've got about 500 hours on a set of Tung Sol 7581a power tubes that I bought from this vendor.  No issues. 

They look like they cater to guitar guys..... you will never find 6dj8 or its cousins at a music store.  Although a lot of their stuff looks like it would appeal to both musicians and hi fi.

TubeDepot is reliable, my issue with them is that a fair amount of NOS tubes that they listed on the website are always out of stock. I ordered NOS 6dj8 tubes from Upscale, they shipped me 7dj8 (same brand) and they are noisy as hell. 

I tend to purchase NOS tubes from Brent Jesse
