If you need a tube...
I don't think I'd seen Bowie post here before recently but when I saw his screen name I wondered if he was the same Bowie I'd heard people speak of on other forums, so I sent him a pm and turns out he is.
Bowie, aka Christian Whitmore, has a business he's been running for around 20 years called ProAudioTubes. His reputation as a seller of tubes is stellar... he's a stellar seller. But he doesn't just sell them; he tests them so that you can be sure if you buy a tube from him it will function as it should and will demonstrate the proper musicality. So if you're looking for nos tubes for a vintage amp or to upgrade a favorite microphone, talk with Bowie, tell him what kind of tone you're after. He's an excellent resource on the subject.

FYI - He didn't ask me to promote his business. I thought it might be helpful to someone at some time to know he's here. He came back to this forum to do some, in his words, "nerding-out" because acoustic guitars are on his mind.

+1 for Bowie. He is the real deal and a very nice guy to boot.

Great to have another source for tubes. We have a couple of tube amps and a couple of Lauten Audio tube mics and unfortunately, L/A has not had replacement tubes available for some time. My Sweetwater rep recommended Tube Depot, whose website claim they also test every tube they sell. I bought a few of the tubes for the mics and they seem to work fine so far, and they're half the price of the tubes from L/A.
