i ordered 5751 tubes from them. Use paypal to order as calling is long distance and a hassle. Only minus-you have to make at least a 40 dollar order!

I've used KCA in the past, and Mike is a great guy. I've got annother link or 2 on my other computer, I'll post it in a little bit.

I live 10 minutes drive away from there. I got all my NOS tubes from there. Mike is a great guy. He is honest at least to me. Once I called him to get new power tubes for soldano. After hearing the problems I had with the amp, he told me not to get new power tubes because replacing power tubes wouldn't improve the tone. He posted several times here. When you call him, tell him "Wonsuck send me".

My traynor has 6l6 tubes from him. Honestly, I believe no amp can beat my traynor in the same price range.

Cheers

I'd buy from him too if he would put some damn tube stock and prices on his website. I used to live right down the road from him, and didn't even know it.

Willy doesn't carry so much NOS stuff these days (I visited his shop last week). He has some NOS power tubes but has no NOS 12AX7s. He did hook me up with a Mullard 12AT7 that made a wonderful reverb driver.

I have a copy of his latest price lists/catalogs (as of a couple months ago). I'd be happy to forward 'em to folks who might be interested. If you are, shoot me an email (not PM). There are separate catalogs for preamp tubes, power tubes, rectifiers, and misc parts.
