Looking for suggestions for a good and trusted tube dealer

Has anyone lately bought tubes from Andy in Michigan of Vintage Tubes, and if so, how did it go?  I bought a couple of batches from him about 25 years ago, and I was surprised to see his web site still in existence.

In doing searches for tube dealers, I also found a site by "Brent Jessee."  In my past searches I had never seen that site before.  Does anyone have experience there, and if so how did that go?

I am looking to upgrade the stock Electro Harmonix 6SN7s in a Cary SLP 05 and I was hoping to find a dealer that people had had positive experiences with.

I have purchased tubes from Brent on several occasions , all positive experiences. In other similar threads members have recommend him, and Andy as well. Some other options are Tube Depot , Upscale Audio, Viva Tubes, The Tubestore.

Thanks for the feed back.

I was reading on Andy's website that he himself does everything from taking the order to matching/testing, packing and finally shipping.  I am looking for the personal touch and attention, but I was wondering if that adversely affected his delivery time.

You can trust Brent Jessee. I believe he does the very same things that you say Andy does when it comes to tubes.

All the best,
