I recently odered some tubes from the Swedish Radiotube Shop (Swedish Radiotube Shop - radiorör elektronrör hifi-rör förstärkare likriktarrör stabilisatorrör magiskaögon nos mottagare kondensatorer radioapparater radio telefunken siemens philips valvo mullard sylvania rca) and could not be more thrilled with every aspect of the transaction. Ralf e-mailed answers to my questions, has a huge inventory, pricves very fairly both for the tubes and shipping to the US, and shipped very quickly and safely.
And the tubes were topnotch quality and in amazing condition. NOS Mullards in perfect boxes, wrapped in the original cardboard inside and the parchment-like paper, lettering perfect on the tubes, clearly never even opened up and handled. And they sound just as good as they look!
I cannot more highly recommend everyone taking a look around at their site as I found some pretty obscure tubes in the condition described above and priced VERY well. The choice for payment was bank transfer or cash in an envelope which was a little scary at first, but trust Ralf (and me) as you will receive the package before you even have time to woory.
For the record (given my enthusiasm) I have absolutely no relation to Radiotube Shop, just an incredibly happy customer!
