I've had good experience with Yen Audio store on eBay

Code: Select all

http://stores.ebay.com/Yen-Audio
have purchased from the tube store as well as others on the way.

thx guys for the suggestions, I'll check 'em out.
I tried tubestore once, thought their shipping charges were excessive.
perhaps I'll buy in bulk. otherwise thought it was a good site.
tried amazon once, got a bad tube and sent it back.

I've only bought online once so far, and that was at tubedepot because they offered various tube tests (gain, noise, microphonics, balanced triodes, etc.) at an additional cost, which made hitting the free shipping for orders over $99 easy to meet, heh. Packed well and everything was clearly labeled so as to not put tubes tested for specific assignment in the wrong part of the circuit.
