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?

Let Teo speak. He'got some good points even if often exaggerated.

Ukraine is a very corrupt country, war or not. Most of you guys know nothing about that place, do you ? Or about Russia, for that matter, which is also a very corrupt country.

Anyway, I heard that at least registered mail from Ukraine works so far. I say so far because they are losing the war and might lose the country soon enough.

Simply. Some Western weapons given to Ukrainians end up being sold to other parties. And that's not 100 a day, that's 150-200 according to Western estimates.

Yes, under the Soviet style system, Ukraine was quite corrupt. It would be naive to think that today all corruption has vanished. But they are trying. And they are succeeding, albeit slowly. You can't turn it around overnight. It's a big ship to steer.

So, yes. Some of us do know a bit about both countries and are not looking at it in black and white. There is always grey.
