Tube vendors.

Hello all taking a break from the kitchen rehab salesmen....
Quick question on Tube suppliers other than The Tube Store and Upscale Audio.
Who are you all getting tubes from and what do you like about them.
BestEarl.

I was born in the Upper Peninsula, The U.P. Rocks, I'll take a decent amplifier with the finest tubes any day over the finest amplifier with mediocre tubes." - Andy Bouwman

He spent a few hours researching and testing just the right vintage Tung Sol 6550 that ( barely ) fits in my REF5se…… my post in no way to disparage other vendors, just happy w Andy. check out also RAM tubes and the genius that was Roger Modjeski - RIP….
