Originally posted by ServinginEcuador I hate to give away my secret stash place, yes, the one that had 16 of the hard to find Raytheon 5751 windmill getters, but, here it is:
I do love the Edition 9, and probably you know what that means, so you have been warned...!!!

Neutrality, accuracy? OK, just ask yourself first: Do you certainly know how the recording is supposed to sound? Sorry, but for me euphony is all about!!! Please do yourself a favor, stop listening your gear, and enjoy the music instead!!!

EQUIPO HEAD-FI HISPANO: DILE ADIOS A TUS AHORROS!!!
I have an informative "Tube Primer" Word document authored by a knowledgeable poster on a guitar-related forum that I frequent, Myles Rose. It's primarily written for guitar amp users, but it covers many facts and test results of various tube types and brands that tube-enthusiast Head-fiers might find useful.
The file is too big to attach here, so if anyone is interested in a copy, PM me, and I'll be glad to email it to you.
Here's some feedback:
audiotubes.com aka Brent Jesse is excellent. Lowest prices of most tube dealers. First place I look. No, I take that back,
I always check with Mitch aka braillediver first.
Mitch is also excellent. Sometimes he has the right pair at the right price. He can be accessed through the forum.
raretubes.com is also good, replies to emails well and tubes come well packaged.
tubetronic.com is also good, Tony is a good person to buy from.
tubeworld.com is a little pricey, but Brendon has some rare stuff others don't. He also has cryo tubes.
thetubestore.com is good for new stuff, but not NOS.
triodeel.com is the same, they carry the same at sometimes lower prices.
Those are places I've actually bought from.
Here's places I have not done business with.
vintagetubeservices.com I heard is good. But it may take you awhile to get the tubes you want. I tried calling but never had a reply, which seems par for people who have dealt with Andy.
upscaleaudio.com has gotten good press, but again I have not done business with them. Kevin does seem like a good guy though. I called him on some tubes but passed.
As far as tubes go, it's not where you get them, it's from whom you get them. Not all sellers are reputable. Keep that in mind.

LOL, but I think I will ask you if I need a tube instead
