Who do you guys use for tube sources?  A few come up in a google search but a rec would be nice.

Thanks

Bill

Hi Bill - I use findatube.com as my primary source. Bob is very reasonable and has used and NOS tubes. I buy extras to fill a Priority box.

Certainly Bob Dobush.

Then there are others. Say, Jim McShane. Great guy, top notch source for audio tubes.
