While I rely on The Tube Store for new tubes at fair prices, their supply of NOS is a bit limited. Soon I will be looking to purchase a very small supply of tubes to roll into my soon to be delivered MAD EAR++ (and to act as a supply reserve in case of any problems). There are a very large number of tube sellers on Ebay, and I am sure some of them are very reputable. As I have no intention of "cornering the market" or reselling tubes, would anybody be willing to recommend reputable sellers on Audiogon or Ebay, either as a reply to this message or by PM? Most of the tubes that I am looking for are not big ticket items, with the possible exception of some 5751's that are beyond my budget. I realize that "you pays your money and you takes your chances" when buying from places like Ebay, but I just want to minimize my chances of getting scammed by dealing with reputable people. Yes, Ebay has a rating system, but I have more faith in my fellow Head-Fi bottleheads than I do in Ebay. So this thread does not head down a path that I, and most likely the moderators, do not want to go, let's keep it to positive recommendations. If you really feel that I need to know about a bad experience, then send it via PM or please start your own thread. Thank you for any recommendations.
P.S. Perhaps if we have some consensus on some sellers, we could add them to the one of the sticky tube threads?
