Vacuum Tube Retailer Option

I'm a frequent flyer for tube purchases at Upscale Audio and Tubedepot.  

However, I've bought a bunch of tubes from this guy in Ohio.  He sells on eBay too.  He tests his tubes and I've had no duds or issues.

Thought I'd promote good honest midwestern business folk.  His prices are aggressively competitive.

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

Ditto on Brent Jessee Tubes.   Good selection of high quality NOS tubes at reasonable prices, good advice/customer service and quick to ship.
