 what's the best place to get tubes? Hi everyone,
I have a TL Audio Dual Valve Pre-Amp and compressor that I bought in 1998 that's developed a bit of a hiss, and they recommend I retube it.
Anyone have any recommendations on the best place to get tubes?
Thanks !

Re: what's the best place to get tubes? Hi Greg; Are these 12AX7's? I've had good luck with the Russian made 12AX7's. Musicians Friend carries them; http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ruby-Tubes-ECC83-12AX7A-Preamp-Tube?sku=212034greg wrote: Hi everyone,

Re: what's the best place to get tubes? This place seems to have good prices.
Home > eBay Stores > BNB TUBES
I just ordered a pair of TUNG SOL 12AX7's @ $11.00 each. I'll let you know how their service is in a few days. (I hope)

Re: what's the best place to get tubes? Just a quick follow up to my earlier post: "Home > eBay Stores > BNB TUBES

(I hope)"Tubes arrived quite a while ago and had been shipped the day after I made payment. Let's see, what else? They were packed well........ Haven't even tried 'em out yet, got tax return and building music room instead of playing  Rob Cathcart

I removed the tubes and swapped them to opposite channels to make sure that was the problem, and now the problem has mysteriously vanished.....
