Tube Dealer Recommendation

Hi There,

I am hoping to re-tube my Cary SLI-80 amplifier with NOS tubes. Specifically looking to change out the 6922 and 6SN&. There seems to be quite a few tube dealers out there. Anyone have recommendations for well regarded tube dealers whose integrity, tube knowledge and tube selection skills you trust? If you prefer, feel free to private message me.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Anyone have experience buying from Andy at Vintage Tube Services?

I've done well with thetubestore.com. They replaced a pair of sketchy tubes no problemo, have advised me to buy a LESS expensive pair of tubes that turned out ot be great, and ship quickly. They seem to know what they're doing.

I have bought many tubes from Andy Bouwman (VTS). His tubes are the real deal, and his knowledge of tubes is enormous. You pay a bit more, but you get what you pay for.
