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 personally wouldn't  import directly from this area right now, but your mileage may vary. I had to retube a pair of Fourier Systems Panthere monos that use 8 6c33cs per amp.  There is a guy in West Milford, NJ  known as "the audio misfit"  who buys in bulk, tests (so no problems with infant mortality,)and can match pairs, quads or octets if necessary.  The guy is a pleasure to deal with. Definitely a little more expensive than ebay, but how many of us are blessed with a tube tester that can test 6c33cs? And who wants to use their amp as a tube tester?

In short, YES,  I just received my Russian tubes from Ukraine with no issues off of Ebay for my Schiit Lyr 2. In fact, they gave me extra tubes for "free" and thanked the us in the West for our support....there you go....
