Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?


Having a set of tube amps being shipped to me this week. Its a pair of Audio Mirror Reflections monoblocks that use the 6C33C tubes. The amps come with one set of outputs and a pair of spares. I was thinking of ordering a backup set of tubes. After looking at the tube sites, the majority of them are Russian sellers, and that is not going to work due to current events. However, there are sellers from the Ukraine of this tube. Do you think a person can order from them and have a good chance of receiving their package?

I had my eye on those Audio Mirrors - you beat me to them! Actually, I already own a JAS Bravo 2.3 that uses the 6C33 as an SET and sounds great, although the build quality is less than optimal. Right now it's blowing fuses.   :-(  

This guy advertises on US Audio Mart on a regular basis and ships from New Jersey:

 

Also, Ralph Karsten used to build amps that use the 6C33 so he might have some in stock.

Well it kinda seems to me that if one can order tubes from a seller like this in Ukraine that one could first email them to ask if they have stock and if they can ship to the USA without any delay.  

Careful what one believes in, regarding the mainstream media and it’s push.  Look deeper and more carefully.  The Ukraine is rated at 150 out of 154 countries on the world corruption list. 

Rated by who and how did they even measure this?  I’ll take and support a relatively free and democratic society like Ukraine over Russia seven days a week and twice on Sunday.  They may be far from perfect, but at least they’re on the right path and embracing and defending freedom as a society.  You may remember 1.5 years ago our own citizens attacked our Capitol building and threatened to kill our VP while attempting to overthrow our election.  That’s not mainstream media BS — that’s a fact.  No country is perfect Chief, so you might be a little more understanding of a government and and society struggling mightily to transform into and protect their freedom and fledgling democracy.  Heck, we’ve been at it almost 250 years and apparently still haven’t gotten it figured out, so how about cutting Ukraine a bit of a break here?

@soix +10 Also look at the riots and the fence Biden put around the Whitehouse.

Crazy.
