great, reliable sellers of tubes are difficult to find
two experts with solid reputation and test equipment that is world class are RAM Tubes and Andy at Vintage tube supply

I'm fortunate to have a great local dealer who tested my tubes for me. Thanks for the advice on RAM and Vintage Tubes......I'll check them both out.

Here are two eBay sellers, that I’ve dealt with repeatedly, over the years, and found honest, reliable and very accurate in their testing methods: angst46 and audiotubes_de

Thank you, this is very helpful.
I hope others on this forum are paying attention to this thread, so everyone can benefit from (and support) those dealers who are honest and reliable.

FleaBay, huh? Tube life is a difficult one, trial and error until you run across that old guru that wises you up to tube world exploits. Most resellers run across a bulk sale of tubes and hype them up to be something of interest when they were really manufactured for a totally different application than high end audio.
Yep, been there done that. I miss that old guru, he passed on. Me, I’m skeptical to any tube seller since...lmfao. He turned me onto a couple of items he modded over the years. Sad part of the story wasn’t just his passing, but when his kids got to the storage and trashed all of his tube collection and modded gear thinking it was all garbage.


It’s always good to hear whenever someone is satisfied with their purchase.

Anyways, here’s a toast to that old guru...here’s thinkin about at ya.
