Opinions? I am more curious then feeling the itch to purchase.
Bought a couple accessories from these guys and had a pretty good experience, thus far.

"Fine tubes and better than any current production or Russian tubes."
While I am quite sure they are better than any current production tubes, I suspect that many of us here would not agree that they are better than Russian tubes. While I have never heard these ECC88's, I do have a very nice pair of Tesla E88CC, which are quite good, and these can be purchased for about the same price on eBay.
So if you are more comfortable purchasing from tubemonger, I would say to for it. On the other hand, as these NOS Tesla's were manufactured in old Czechoslovakia, they are quite plentiful from eastern European vendors, and you could purchase a pair of E88CC's off of eBay. Either way, IMO, the Teslas are well worth a try.
