    Avoid Tubes.RS

    Doesn't look like that forum has had much traffic in a few years. I doubt it will do any good. At this point, I'm relying on my credit card company to make the right decision here. Tubes.RS' return policy has been rewritten to favor themselves over the customer. They state that if a tube fails...

    Avoid Tubes.RS

    Not a lot of choices when looking for these tubes. And I called Western Electric, which is in the USA, to confirm they were a legit business. But still...

    Avoid Tubes.RS

    I purchased one matched quad and one matched pair of NOS Mullard/Philips XF4 from Tubes.RS, the eastern European arm of Western Electric. They guaranteed these tubes to be matched within 2%. Once they arrived, I promptly tested them to make sure they were good before installing and biasing. One...

    The Tube Store Kills all USA Shipping

    There already is a system in place for carriers to collect and remit tariffs. If carriers are able to collect and remit taxes on something that's valued OVER $800, then they can certainly do it for items valued UNDER $800 as well. The larger issues is... is anybody really going to want to pay...

    The Tube Store Kills all USA Shipping

    The extremely silly part of all of this is those countries' mail carriers are saying they're halting shipments because they, "don't know how to handle the paperwork" that's required for items that incur tariffs or duties. But that's obviously complete nonsense because they certainly know how to...

    The Tube Store Kills all USA Shipping

    To be more specific, Canadian (and many other countries) international carriers are temporarily halting shipments to the USA due to the expiration of the de minimis exemption that has historically exempted anything valued under $800 from customs duties and tariffs. It isn't so much retailers...

    Need to Ship an Amp...(Question)

    Go to FedEx Office and have them box the amp up. It will be about $25-$35 and they will custom cut a box to the size of the amp, wrap it, and use expandable foam that molds to the actual item in the box. Then use Pirate Ship to print your own label. This is what I do when I ship amps and I...

    Wizard MTL mk2 demo

    Sounds fantastic. Wizard said no (!), but should be easy to add a sweep control to the other amp.

    G12M-25 Versions?

    No, I have a Hiwatt Super-Hi, an 800-clone with diode clipping, and a '71 Super Trem modified with five gain stages. Yeah these new G12M have more of a low-end bloom. A wider low end. The G12H-75 Creambacks are narrower, but tighter for sure, especially at higher volumes. I was able to crank...

    Has perfect high gain guitar tone been achieved?

    This is like a painter asking if all the colors and shades of paint have been achieved. It's infinite.

    People like this are scum... Mesa content!

    I remember reading a recent article about someone who bought... I think, a painting... from a private owner. I think it was the widow of husband who owned the painting. She was asking like $10,000 or something for it and was in a hurry to sell because she was cleaning out the estate. The buyer...
