i was going to pick up a pair of groove tubes el84 russians, and i wish to use low power rated tubes (1-3 rating, formerly known as blue label).

it has become apparent that out of all the sources i know of who sell this brand tube, only one (guitar center, of all people) gives you the option to select what rating you want in the purchase process. bizarre, right?
seems like most vendors would just send whatever they pick up first in their box o' tubes.

i know many of you hate GT's and/or sovtek, but personal taste aside, does anybody know of any reliable sources that might help me in my quest? im trying to avoid ebay by the way.

thanks


EDIT: i must have been smoking the ganja, i am seeing a few other places that can help. however they include MF and Music & Arts, who are basically GC...someone i also try to avoid. not to sound fussy or anything....

but if you know anybody else, please do tell. id like to hear what you know, otherwise i would have closed the thread. thanks

Hi msvolpe,

I am also a GT fan, and I get mine from GC on line, and avoid sales people that way. Do you not like GC? BTW, the rating on the tubes isn't for power, they are the same power, the ratings are for when the tubes will breakup.

Blue 1 to 3 is early breakup
White 4 to 7 best for overall sound
Red 8 to 10 is clean headroom, late breakup.
:)

P.S.
You should share the ganja man! 8)
