Tubes are a sickness :D.

I havent even recieved my amplifier yet (A marketed in china varient of the Sophia Baby) but I've already got the itch to tube roll. I've done some research and discovered the included Shuguang tubes leave a bit to be desired, as such I'm searching for quality NOS replacements.

I've already bought a set of NOS General Electric 5670W tubes from a guy on the west coast to replace the 6n3 driver tubes, so I think I've got that covered. What I need now are some outputs to replace the stock 6p1's. From what I've read the russian milspec 6p1p-ev is the best way to go here, but I cant find any for sale that arent located overseas. This is where I reach my dilema; I dont really want to wait a month while my tubes are on the slow boat from china. Does anyone know of a domestic source for these tubes?

If you buy from Russia or Ukraine they will arrive in 1 - 3 weeks. They delivered by air, not by boat unless you buy 1000 pcs or so :-)

Here you go, ships right from Chicago. I ordered 6N1Ps for my Yaqin MC-10L and got them in just a couple of days.

6P1 is 9-pin, 6AQ5/EL90 is 7-pin. Electrically, they're similar, but won't fit the same socket. I'd call them and ask which one it REALLY is...
