Tubes - who has some of the best Deals out there !!!!

[guitarhaus]

...just wanted to get some diffrent ideas on where the best places to buy tubes are !!!!! I have bought many tubes from Eurotubes as Bob is easy to work with and will give you all the information you may need, but to be fair the down side is he only deals in JJ tubes !!!!

I heard another place is Dougs Tubes where they have a good variety and a good guy to deal with, personally I havent been to him yet but wouldnt mind trying him out....

.... Recently I just stumbled onto a site where I havent done business with in almost 20 years and thats "Torres Engineering", I was impressed as it seems to me some important factors in buying tubes are variety ( Name Brands & NOS ) and the art of matching tubes as close as possible which are the downfall of alot of dealers out there but I noticed on Torres website they boast to be accurate within .00002A measurement....... This to me is amazing !!!!! ...if anyone has tried them lately, or has any of your other favorite places to buy tubes please leave your commits.

......variety is the spice of life - if anyone wants to checkout Torres Engineering the url is below.

Hear me out. I will list some dealers that have NEVER let me down.
Yet, you were posting a question that turned into an advertisement for someone,
then turned back into a question.
These are dealers that have not made a mistake in my requests for certian tubes
on many occasions. I am leaving out some that (1) I may not deal with, and (2) I have had more
than TWO orders that were not as indicated, including tubes that were not even close to what
was listed, and I can drop my test tube in my amplitrex at-1000 and tell right from the start if
what is listed on the box is not measuring what came out of the box. Others might be more forgiving,
and have had different experiences with my favorites.

Yet when I am repairing and my customer wants certian tubes, these are where I go in no certian order:

If you want JJ's go Eurotubes. Anything else...Dougs Tubes. Never had a problem. Another choice is tube depot. Antique Electronic Supply (Tubesandmore) are great but on the pricey side. But you get what you pay for.
