Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922

TVAD,
I agree 100% with everything you said about Andy. I was wondering if you could recommend another reasonable, reliable tube source, with a more extensive inventory, for those tubes that Andy doesn't carry.

Some people are threatened or intimidated by Andy's knowledge.

He's by far the best tube vendor I've ever dealt with.

Audiogon member Jsutter sells terrific tubes at very fair prices but doesn't have an inventory as large as Andy.

Mr T- I couldn't agree more about the risk involved buying NOS CCa tubes, or any others for that matter. Finding someone that has the right tester, knows how to correctly use it and is honest about the results is becoming increasingly hard to do. And(like any other commodity) as the price increases, so does the number of crooks. Most of the tubes I've purchased in the last few years came from Germany, Argentina(lots of Germans down there) or Australia, and those have all been excellent. Perhaps the people in those countries have a stronger moral code or something. Still- I've found myself grilling sellers before purchasing anything(I hate having to feel that's necessary). You may have noticed me ending a few posts with, "CAVEAT EMPTOR!"

9999999999999999,

Is the tubes on Ebay by cry baby world LOL the one's to get?

How about the second and third CCa on buy it now?
