Hi all,
With all the tube talk on the AVA forum lately, here is a pictorial history of the vacuum tubes I stocked up every few years due to my concern about future supply...AVA HiFi supplied all of these and I am happy to report the amp continues to sound excellent.

Thank you,
Tom

How is your supply of 12X4 rectifier tubes for the old PAS units?

sorry frank, never had any gear that ran the 12x4, so don't have any

have oodles (dozens and dozens) of american european and japanese old stock 6dj8/7dj8, 12au7, 5ar4, 6cg7

fewer, but still many pairs of 12ax7 / 5751
