is Torres engineering a good tube dealer?

[Quencho092]

is it just me, or are all the big name NOS tube dealers (Lord Valve and the like) not bothering to answer emails anymore? I've sent them over 10 emails and he won't respond with a catalog for me to order from.

Is torres engineering a reliable dealer for tubes? Just wondering....

No, I cannot recommend Torres...now, Lord Valve does have a good rep, though. Have you tried kcanostubes.com?

I ordered a Groove Tubes 12ax7m (the Mullard RI) from Torres when they first came out and experienced no problems with it. However, the guy does have a sketchy reputation and based on that, I wouldn't trust them for NOS tubes.

Kcanostubes.com is probably the most popular site around with a flawless reputation. You pay a little more for an NOS tube through them, but you get what you pay for all the way. Lord Valve has a good rep., but I've never tried them so I can't comment on them.

Quencho,
Lord Valve gets swamped with emails. You'll have better luck calling him: 303-778-1156.

If you PM me this evening, I'll send you his catalog.
