Tube question - need new ones


I have a Conrad Johnson tube preamp and amp. I need new tubes. Conrad Johnson charges an arm and a leg for tubes. Do I really need the expensive tubes from them. Can anyone suggest a cheaper vendor?

Check with Jim McShane - he is always helpful with choosing the right tube for your application and budget.
I agree with Miner42. Check with Jim McShane for his thoughts on the tubes for your CJ gear. I've bought from Jim McShane in the past for all sorts of tubes and they have turned out great with my gear.
Andy at Vintage Tube Services is also a good place to look for tubes and its very likely that he knows the CJ already.

Our customers have been very happy with his work.
Andy at Vintage tube services is nice guy and really knows his stuff. Upscale Audio is also good source.
Another recommendation for Jim McShane, which goes by the name McShane Design. He is a sponsor of Tube Asylum on Audio Asylum and can be found there as well.
