Hi all. I have no idea if this is the correct place to ask the following:

I am looking to re-valve my Audio Note Oto and was wondering where the best place is to purchase new or NOS valves from, apart from eBay?

Thanks for any pointers.... :thumbsup:

I've always been pleased with the service from Watford Valves.

Check out Hotrox. I have dealt with them on numerous occasions and they have been helpful, prompt and very knowledgable.:)

In the States - I trust Jim McShane - you will be assured that the tubes will be quiet and not microphonic as he tests them.

Plus one to Watford Valves, their own brand Harmas are excellent. Another great place for NOS is Langrex

Best of luck

Never had a problem buying from ebay myself. Just be careful who you buy from.

And after deciding on your provider of choice should you decide to then get them cryo treated I can recommend Frozen Solid http://www.frozensolid.co.uk/audio-hifi-c-22.html

I had my Quad TungSol KT120's and a pair of gold pin JJ ECC99's done by them - very good service
