where do you buy your replacement tubes?
thanks everyone, is TAD tube amp doctor?Here, there, and everywhere.
Depends - new tubes, I've been going with Tube Depot or TAD - decent pricing and quick turnaround. Old stock, I check with @byoungman1 first - good selection and great quality.

if the metal base ring of the tube falls off as you take a tube out of the box as well as half the cork material under it, but the tube seems to still work.. would you ask for a refund? (this just happened to me)
Agreed. And Kevin has never steered me wrong---if he says a tube is a real good choice for a certain amplifier, do what he says. Who knows more about tube and amplifier/pre amplifier matching than Kevin Deal?Upscale Audio goes out of their way to test every tube you order. Listening with new Electro Harmonix 6922 gold pins that they matched for my balanced Pro-Ject RS Box Preamp. The noisy tubes get rejected and not sold by them. Just replaced a noisy EH 6922 that came with the preamp.
You can order different grades and also cyro as an option. https://www.upscaleaudio.com/products/electro-harmonix-6922-gold-pin
