Has anyone bought Gold Aero PXB300 tubes from Upscale Audio?

My VAC Renaissance 70/70 is going to need tubes, and VAC is in short supply right now. Plus they seem to be really expensive from them. So I was wondering of getting 4 matched pairs from Upscale? Or is there somewhere else that has good matched reliable tubes?

Upscale is about as good a tube supplier I've ever used. By the same token, though, when I lived in L.A. I'd have endless fun prowling the various, dusty pro electronics shops for the things.

Yes, I meant Gold Lion Soviet Tubes, PX300B’s. I need 4 matched pairs! So their tube matching is good too? Thanks guys!

@facten @edcyn @nmolnar  Thanks guys! I got some coming from Tube Depot instead. Crisis averted!  There was a technical glitch trying to order from Upscale (Said I had to own a Prima Luna amp from them)  and I panicked wanting to ensure i get some tubes that should last for the next 5 years
