I’ve used Brendan Bievers at TubeWorld for many years, though I got some NIB GEC driver tubes for my old Quad II amps from Tubemonger.
Brent Jesse’s web site gives me a headache. Heard good things about Andy.
I’m usually replacing ’small tubes,’ like the 12AX7 (used to roll the 6dj8 equivalents) with NOS Telefunkens, but got a matched quad of GEC KT-66s recently from Brendan; I have old stock Reflecktor D H 30s in my Veloce line stage. I’ve gotten back up sets of my phono stage tubes directly through Allnic, except for the rectifiers- which I’ve gotten from a variety of sources (currently using a GEC U52). The amp tubes, other than the 12ax7, come from Vlad Lamm.
I knew of Kevin Deal from an exotic car site I used to participate in but have not purchased anything from him.
