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 purchase new tubes from The Tube Store and NOS from Uncle Kevvy at Upscale Audio. Extremely satisfied with both dealers and shipping is about the same.
I've dealt with Brett Jesse, Kevin Deal, Andy and Viva tubes on multiple occasions and have had great success. I have also purchased 30 or 40 tubes from a local dealer in PHX that has been very good. Dave at Arizona tube supply. Very good. I would say he seems to have mostly USA NOS tube brands, not so much on the European brands. Great source.
I've bought many tubes from Brett Jesse and gotten great support. He tends to focus mostly on obscure NOS (and expensive) tubes.
Recently I've bought quite a bit of tubes from the Tube Depot and have been very impressed with their service, selection, and prices. The Tube Depot mostly focuses on new production tubes, so the prices are generally pretty attractive.
