Re: Tube Depot reputable?

I've been using The Tube Store, in Hamilton, Ontario.
Same prices as Tube Depot, but shipping is very reasonable via Canada
Post, and no customs to deal with.

You'll never know unless you buy a tube tester...
folks pay a lot more for hand-picked pre tubes.
Generally worth it, if you're against using a boost
pedal and need more gain. I'd probably rather have
hand-picked for low noise, myself.
