Question About a Couple of Tube Suppliers
« on: 19 Sep 2009, 01:20 pm »
Hey Guys,

After seeing a post on another forum, I discovered that the preamp tube 6C45P is starting to get scarce. After checking a couple of regular sources (like the Tube Store) who used to carry them, it looks like this is the case.

I've got a 2A3 amp that uses the 6C45Pi as the driver tube. I'd personally prefer not to redesign the driver stage though it could be done if need be.

After doing a quick search, I ran across a couple of online tube suppliers that look like they have the 6C45P in stock. I've not dealt with either of these guys and was curious if anybody here has and what their experiences were.

The first is...
BOI Audio Works

the other is...
Conus Audio

Any opinions?

TIA!

Scott:
I've done repeat business w/ BOI AudioWorks and never had any issues.  In general, fast shipping and tubes are as described.

I've bought Valve Art 350B's and NOS RFT 12AU7's from BOI and have been happy with the prices and service.
