Where is one to go for the infamous "butt ugly" tubes? "Butt Ugly" tubes power my amp, phonostage, FM tuner, Fender DR and tube distortion box. Time to make one last purchase of them.

Very recently I bought a pair of Mullard 12AX7 long narrow plates from Brent to have a spare set of them. And a pair of GE military just in case, not bad tubes at all, by the way. Well, we'll see what happens with Audiotubes, but he has a very strong standing, difficult to match.
