I'm in need of some Win C EL34 any good reputable place where I can purchase them?  Also, pre amp tubes 12Ax7 (RCA or Telefunken)???  Where?  Lastly, whats the deal with Cryoed tubes?  Is it better than none cryoed?  Hmmmm

i never heard of a win c el-34 is but if it helps any i'd suggest the Shuguang Treasure 'Black Bottle' 6CA7-Z, EL-34

I think he means "Winged C".  The brand is SED, formerly Svetlana.  They're all over the place.  Just find a reputable tube dealer (Jim McShane, The Tube Depot, etc.).  All these guys should have them matched.  The 12AX7 will be harder to find and MUCH more expensive.  Others should chime in on where to buy NOS.

Good luck!

McShane is a great source. He'll have those 12AX7s too, but not as cheap as the el34s. But he might have some used, they last forever.

I second the Treasure recommendation. If you can afford them, that will end your tube rolling. If not, consider Gold Lion KT77, another great tube.

The new production Blackburn Microtech sub for the 12AX7 is a technically near-perfect.
