Where to buy valves in the UK?

[Ashmore]

I might be in the market soon for some 300b's.

I know about Hotrox and Watford Valves. Who else distributes/sells in the UK, and are they any good?

Do people here have a view about ebay sellers of new valves (i.e. from HK or China)? Bona fide and responsible or dodgy and unreliable?

I wouldn’t risk expensive valves from eBay, too many fraudsters and copies.

Wide choice here:-

I have used them for a couple of sets of PCC88's and they were fine!

The last paragraph of https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?3285-On-The-Net-Valve-Databases might be of help.

Appear to just sell on Ebay now but they were always reliable in the past.

I would recommend Edicron as well, not just because the are based round the corner from my house!

Langrex are good too!
