gat474 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Are there any reliable sellers of NOS tubes in Aus? Looking at 12au7’s. Seems to be lots in the US but local would be preferable. 1
RD999 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) I have bought some lovely NOS Mullard’s, Amperex & RCA cleartop 12au7’s from Lucas Miles Audio. All great tubes & good service too. Cheers Ryan Edited October 10, 2019 by RD999

I bought from the us from a reputable seller. two lots both ended up worse spec'd than the used up worn out tube i was trying to replace... and these were all supposedly new from factory all matched and all. thank goodness took them all back no hassle. just my time wasted and money.

I wont name and shame publicly, contact me via pm if need. but i dont believe it is the seller issue they have excellent reputation. the fact is the spec on tubes even new from factory are SO wide. why one seller who wont ship and only sells to own customers and charges such a premium for decent tubes - as they are tested and only ones sold that are not on the nether regions of spec i have bias meters to check individual tubes on my amp so can easily see when it is sh!te and time to throw out.... and can also see when plug in a "new" one and see gosh that is sh!te as well or actually good 1
