Yep. Langrex are good, as are Hotrox. Any particular valves that you're looking for?

Hi Dan,

I have used Watford valves a few times when I was looking for current production valves and have found them very reliable.

I have also used several eBay merchants and those below I can recommend as being honest.

Depending what your'e after frequently the USA is a good source but beware import duty and VAT :stalks:

Are you after anything in particular? I have a few NOS audio valves knocking around mainly RCA 12AX7's, Brimar ECC83's, a pair of very nice Brimar Yellow T 6060's (ECC81), GE 6550's etc etc.

Happy rolling

As Stephen says, Ebay is a good source. I've bought valves from the bay for years and have never had a problem.

Marco might have a few pairs he would part with. I think he's experimented with various NOS in the past.

Well, I guess buying anything online is a risk, but as I say, I've bought loads of valves from the bay over the years and have never had a problem.

As Ali suggested, PM Marco. I bought 2 pairs of 6SL7 valves from him. He might still have some left if you are lucky :).

Nice chatting, matey :)

I'll sort out a nice quad of NOS 6SL7s for you tomorrow, once I've looked them out and tested them :cool:
