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.

I've also had good luck buying from Tonal Tubes, got a set of six matched preamp tubes from them.

Thetubestore, Tube Depot, and even Uppity Audio for some flashing Mullards…all no problemo.

@wolf_garcia - I have to admit: I never had any issues either, with anything that I purchased from, "Uppity Audio". Kevin was my go-to guy, for a couple decades. I especially loved the NOS Sylvania 6550’s he used to(alas) stock. Great products and testing procedures.

Yeah man…Mullard 6201s and 4024s…I simply bought them from "Uppity," they sent them to me, and I used them. Just not that difficult at all.
