should i buy tubes from? i live in southern orange county and i dont really want to have to ship tubes so is there anywhere that will have a wide selection of tubes? and if you guys have recommendations on what, ill listen to that too. its for a mark iv and im looking to get new preamp tubes too. plus im kinda torn between el34 or 6l6.
 
Go around to local shops and see if they have a selection of tubes. You can answer your own question by driving around one evening....or picking up the telephone.

Ordering tubes online is a nice thing.
 
i made some calls but nothing too impressive. i guess i could buy online but it just seems like tubes are alittle too delicate for me to trust some random business
 
hope this is not offending. ( I don't know if there are supporting vendors here....)

Bob ant Eurotubes has been outstanding for me to shoot the manure back and forth about my style and particular amp and to that end...pick a tube set for what ever amp I am discussing. He's a great guy. I know there are many out there, ( i keep seeing the name "Doug" and I don't know him... I will dig into that ..)you just need to hook up on a first name with them somewhere. That means, find them / talk to them/ spend $. :)

oh delicate comment... don't worry about it they all get shipped at some point in their life! haha

very true. i just dont like to do it because shipping companies dont care about my tubes plus i have to wait. on the other hand the internet is going to have a much wider selection.

oh.... BUT to know what you should be runnning...that my friend IS the hard part! That is general the issue. I have been content for a long while. I just play.

...did I say anything about no tax on the internet?..... :)
