NOS Tube Dealers

Does anyone out there have any references for NOS tubes dealers? I've purchases stuff from KCA and was very happy with what I got. I'm wondering if there are any other dealers out there that I should look at.

KCA is the best! Mike is a great guy, always helpful. Sorry I don't have any other references but I just dig KCA.

As you probably know, Mike at KCA is honest & hard-working, knows his product and is refreshingly unafflicted by any form of egotistical BS. If he has what I want in stock he gets my business. The only reason I would use someone else would be if Mike didn't have what I want.

I'm sure there are others as good, but I like working with him. I see other guys online who put down their competition (their "imitators") and it just turns me off to doing business with them.

Try Hitest

Gregg is a tube expert/geek like few others and he is a guitarist tone-freak as well. He has all the stuff guitar players want.

He's also telepathic and knows things that no one could possibly know. Just read his ads in VG. :AOK

KCA for NOS. Never bothered to look for another supplier, as I've been so happy with his service. Gee, hope he really IS the best.
