VacuumTubes.com (not to be confused with VacuumTubes.net - different vendor) has some terrific prices but I'm wondering whether that is due to the merchandise possibly being of lesser quality such as selling used tubes as ANOS or exhibiting microphonics. TCtubes' prices are more in line with what I normally see but still wanted feedback before forking over my hard-earned dough.

Many thanks to whomever can provide feedback on those two or additional alternatives!

NOTE: Yes, I'm aware of Brent Jesse but his prices are more or less double what I see at most places so I'm looking for alternatives, if possible.

Brent Jesse is the best

Vintagetubesevices - Andy also good

VacuumTubes.net has good rep with two people I know

The one thing to avoid is guys on ebay selling just a few that they claim are tested but have no results to back the claims
