Will build the SOHA II and would like get some nice 12au7 for tube rolling. Where to get them in Canada, online and correct price?

Been burned by excessive UPS brokerage fees last time I ordered some Toshiba BJTs from B&D. That plus the extra international shipping and that's another good reminder to buy north of 47th whenever possible.

I have looked at tubes on ebay listed by a seller in Toronto named eskimofridge(matter of fact I am looking at them right now).
His tubes are not cheap, some are cryo.

EDIT:?You know I really don't know if his tubes are cheap or a good deal, he does have au7's though.

Thanks Digger that's what I was looking for. Not cheap but if they sound good that's what matter.

BTW I don't think I will ever go higher than 75-100 bucks for a tube. This price range seems more collector price or would be more appropriate to high end preamp than a good DIY headpnone amp.
