In Reply to: RE: Chinese tube sellers - ebay or elsewhere in China? posted by petercapo on April 17, 2016 at 12:27:59
Grant Fidelity is located in Calgary Alberta they sell Shuguang and Psvane Chinese tubes. The tubes are shipped from China to you. I have bought a number of Psvane and some Shuguang Treasure tubes from Grant the past two years and find them to be outstanding. Not cheap, the eBay sellers are somewhat cheaper but Grant will stand behind them.
If you have any questions Rachel is very knowledgable and quick to reply.
I would suggest try the Psvane TII EL34's.For all other tubs Jim McShane is the man.

I have purchased Black and Gray bottle 300B and CV-181T tubes from Rachel. No issues. Still going strong. Sonically superior to base Chinese and Russian tubes. EML'S also good from Jax.
Rachel has been running the business since Ian Grant passed away, I guess it's been a couple years ago now?
Anyway, she is a jewel of a person and knows the Asian audio industry very well.
If I were looking to purchase Chinese manufactured tubes(or most any Chinese manufactured product), I would buy from Grant Fidelity without any hesitation.
Rachel & Grant Fidelity are fine; they'll sell you their Chinese tubes; but their customer service sucks if there is a problem. Rachel is less than helpful. Perhaps she is getting angry in her advanced age but when one of my brand new Psvane KT88 IIs blew on its initial power up she claimed to have sent a replacement but never did and then refused to answer my emails even after the shorted tube was returned to her as proof. Only after filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and paying an additional fee did she ship my replacement. Between the shipping charge to return my blown tube (which luckily did not take out my amp) and the fee charged by Rachel, I could have simply bought another tube. We can all have a bad day but she must have been having a bad month. It seems that Rachel turned into Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Let's all hope for either the return of the kinder gentler Rachel, or a suitable replacement.
