Anybody know where to get 845 tubes?????

I used to be able to pick up NOS Amperex 845's for about $60- at K-Mart until they went Chap. 11. Of course, I'm just kidding! However, the man that you want to speak with is Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services. (www.vintagetubeservices.com. Tel. # is 616-454-3467). You'll definitely be impressed. Since he is a one man operation, it's best to CALL, not email, but definitely check out the website! I've used other so called "tube gurus" who fall way short when compared with Andy. Happy Tunes!

Chazzbo- The Sino 845 is fine as has been pointed out already. In a really tweaked system, there is really no comparison with good NOS 845 though. The Sino tubes sounds thin and harmonically lean compared to the United 845. In my system, there simply was no choice. I had to have NOS 845 once I tried them. As previously stated, you will likely pay 300 to 500 per tube. However, considering the fact that a pair of NOS 845 tubes will likely outlast your ownership of the amplifier, I'm not sure if I would consider the money unwisely spent. Just one man's opinion. Good luck.

Try triodeelectronics.com . I just purchased a complete set of tubes for my Audio Research VT 100 mk II and the price was great. No I did not order 845 tubes but I checked there web site and they have a variety of 845's including Sovtek. Like I said I just ordered tubes on 3/09/02 so I did not receive them yet.

Good luck,
Kevin
