Source for tube shopping?


I'm in need of a dozen EL34s for my Cary V12. I'm going to go with the new issue Electro Harmonix tubes, largely because they seem to be well rated, they're reasonably priced, and I need a lot of them. I'm looking at three websites - Tube Depot; Antique Electronic Supply; and Amplified Parts - all of who offer matching services for the tubes at between $13-$15 per tube. Does anyone have any experience with any of these sites they could share, or do you have a recommended alternative? In a little bit of a rant, Cary wanted to charge $40 EACH for this same tube, which is some first-class gouging if I've ever seen it. Any experiences are appreciated.

Andy at vintage tube services can help you out as well;always gave me great customer service and advice.
Just bought a matched quad from Peter yesterday for $50 at Vacuum Tube Supplies. Absolutely nice and professional people to buy from with especially when I bought 34s instead of 84s. Not a problem exchanging them.

As a Cary V12 owner I can strongly recommend Jim McShane as well as Kevin Deal at Upscale. I never liked the EH tubes in my system, perhaps they sound good in your system; too bad the V12 has so many tubes, makes rolling a bit expensive. I do like the folks at Cary, they have always been extremely helpful to me, but they do charge a premium for tube replacement, hence, better to seek them elsewhere.
I go with Tube Depot. They have always shipped quality tubes that are well matched and quiet.
