RE: experience with tube vendors

I would also encorage you to do a bit of home work as you venture into this realm of audiophilia...

Know the parts of the tubes (internal)

NOS - New Old Stock - yes there are Amprex Bugle Boy tubes that have never been removed from their original Packaging, however there are not Thousands of these tubes ...

It is 2016 - most of the tubes that are newly manufactured are being manufactured in either the Former Yugoslavia, Hungary, China or Russia.
Most of the UK, Dutch, German and US manufacturing stopped in the 1970s or before...

Tubes - unused - have an indefinite shelf life.
Tubes can not be repaired...

Have fun



Happy Listening
