Valve supplies ?

Post by Gerry D »

Anybody got a recommendation[s] for valve supplier ?
I'm looking for 3 X 6SN7's for my amp. A Cary 300 SEI integrated.

I'd say it's at least 10 years old and has the original input and driver tubes still.
I'm guessing that replacing these would bring sonic benefits.

Considering http://www.sophiaelectric.com/.


Thanks,
Gerry

my standard response to that question is a fella in the US called Jim McShane. Just google him and you'll get the site.

X-music at the red cow do have some valves - particularly ones common in guitar amps.

On Fran's recommendation I've used Jim myself and he's sound. No nonsense and sensible prices
