Source for tubes

Jim W · May 9th, 2005, 08:35 AM

I need to retube my amp. Who is a good source for tubes. Is anyone familiar with the Tube depot?

Thanks

Jim

I've had nothing but excellent results buying from Bob at Eurotubes. He sells JJ exclusively and will match tubes to your needs.

I just ordered some tubes for a couple of amps from Bob at Eurotubes also. He really knows his stuff and answered all of my questions and made suggestions accordingly. The tubes should be here this week, I can't wait.

Give him a shout!

Ditto.. I should have my new tubes today or tomorrow...

Bob was really good to work with...

I recently bought tubes from Triode Electronics in Chicago.

http://store.yahoo.com/triodeel/index.html

Great selection, prices, and service. Easily ordered over the internet.

In the past, I've also had equally good experiences with NBS Electronics (Fat Willy/Lord Valve) in Denver. You gotta email or call Willie, though!

And not just because it is within driving distance.
The actual store is so dang old school, you could spend a day there drooling over things sitting on shelves.

I've done business with Antique Electronic Supply several times before. They ship the same day. They also have knowledgeable people answering the phones.
