T, I surf the Net. Sometimes EBAY (there are some well known good suppliers), I like Tube World (despite the higher prices). Tube Dpot has some good ones. But, they don't seem to test the tubes as well as other private suppliers.

Jim McShane has some good tubes, too. Esp the newer productions. He is one of the few I know of, that thoroughtly tests output tubes under amplifier (voltage and current) conditions. One issue is the Old School website. But, hey! I don't mind as long as the tubes are good.

Really, I've prolly bought tubes from as many different sources, as different tube types.

TBazz...here is the place I have used a couple times...they are great and prices are not too shabby for some great NOS.

They are easy to deal with and get your stuff out quick.
If you are in need of a 5751 for that Princeton they have some nice NOS JAN GE 5751 for $28 each!

I also bought a quad of these for my 64 Princeton...sweet tone and so far pretty tuff if you like to crank em, they get a nice sizzle going on...

And these are even better if you got the coin...

+1 for KCA NOS

I have purchased from them a few times and have had good experiences.
