I’m looking for new tubes for some preamps and power amps. Any recommendations of tube vendors would be appreciated, preferably if you have had positive experiences with them. Thanks!
Jim McShane is fantastic and can be highly recommended. It’s a shame that his web site looks like it was kludged together by a six year old child who had been drinking black coffee all morning.
It’s seems as though Andy and Jim are popular choices here. I know that Kevin at UpScale prefers to serve his customers. Two of the products I need tubes for came from my being one of his customers. That said, I’ll likely call Andy or Jim first.
Haven't dealt with tubes for a few years but when I did I met Jim McShane. He doesn't take calls nor did Brent Jessee. Both are #1 as far as service. I think the reason Jim doesn't take calls is when I met him we could have talked for hours about tubes and audio. Never dealt with Andy but as you can see he is also highly recommended. Never dealt with Kevin either but Jim said he is a good friend and very knowledgeable.
