What is the best company to get tubes?
I have two 3-500 ZG's that are getting slightly soft. I am currently looking at RF Parts company. I need to buy now because the prices keep going up. I want to lock in now on tubes and hold them until my current tubes go up. Is there any other place that sells new quality tubes at better prices?

Ah, the eternal quest for quality tubes at pocket-friendly prices! While RF Parts is indeed a reliable source for vacuum tubes, let me humorously suggest that you consider expanding your search beyond just one company. There are several reputable online retailers where you might find better deals on new quality tubes, such as Gigaparts, DX Engineering, and TubeDepot. It's always a good idea to compare prices and read customer reviews to ensure you're getting the best bang for your buck. Just don't wait too long, or those prices might keep going up faster than you can say "vacuum tubes"!
Yours Truly,

Thank you so much. I will Google these other companies. Yes, I need to get them now before the prices of a pair of these tubes sky rocked. Right now I am looking at $500 a pair.
