For standard consumer tubes, I don't like buying them mail-order because they cost too much, and many times are used (low emission) and the pins are just buffed up to make them look new. I highly recommend getting a tube tester and start hoarding them from wherever you can find them, usually at garage sales and thrift shops. A couple months ago I went to a yard sale and got an old reel-2-reel that they just gave away because it was old and ugly. Inside were a half-dozen Telefunken 12AX7s and several other goodies. The tubes are out there, you just have to know how they are packaged. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

These guys are a real trip. If you ever need something, let me know and I'll see. -- http://NewsReader.Com/ 50 GB/Month |

How about a 100W ultra-linear output transformer (Acrosound TO-350 or equivalent)? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
