Looking for some 5751's, particularly. Was wondering if any members are still buying from them. I see the website is still active, but I don't want to place any order online and find the website isn't being monitored anymore. Other websites, Reverb, and Ebay is full of sellers with prices higher than a cats back. Doug's Tubes didn't show any 5751's. Wouldn't mind grabbing some NOS 12AX7's, either.

It's been a couple years but last time I ordered from KCA I received a confirmation email and got the tubes in a week....but this was 2015.
 
I've always bought from eBay. Just make sure the test results are in the description as well as what equipment was used to test and the description tells what a min and new reading are in comparison.

Also, make sure the feedback is 100%

I've never had any problems. If I get a tube that is noisy, the seller almost always gives an immediate refund.

The tubes are WAYYY cheaper than these dealers. I have thousands of dollars worth of tubes from eBay.

If you have to use a dealer, https://www.hitestguitars.com has a good rep. I know one guy who has done business with Greg enough that Greg will send a bunch of tubes and let the guy pick ones he likes, send the rest back.
