Need Tubes

I don't care for current production tubes. For me NOS is the only way to go. I get mine from Vintage tube services /Andy Bowman or Brent Jesse Recording / Brent Jesse.
Good luck

Try Upscale Audio. They only sell tubes that have a record for being reliable. Many tubes are not. Got a matched set of 12 EH EL34's for less than $20 a piece. Tubes are fully tested and burned in for 72 hours. Performance (SQ) matched exactly with Kevin Deal's explanation of what to expect.

@artemus_5 sorry I didn't see mkII. I still recommend Tube Depot as a good seller. I have dealt with Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio but he was very rude and very expensive for what he offers. I was dealing with another tube dealer (Darcell Tubes) in El Monte, Cali who had great deals and was reselling to Kevin who upped the price greatly.

i agree kevin deal/upscale has gotten more corporate and greedy and unaccessible compared to years past

well he is getting older, maybe thinking about retirement, probably want to bank it for a few years, hard to blame him

Kevin has a big business to run, there is no way to Kevin has the same amount of time like he had 20 years ago. I still get great service from Upscale.

P.S. You also get a 72 hour burn-in (for power tubes) and grading for no additional cost.
