Hi,
No..There must be plenty on the net though.
Just ask away, I'm sure people will answer...
What you want to buy depends on your market perspectives...
Former USSR export tubes are usually of better quality compared to what you may find locally.
I usually bought through agencies in the Soviet Union and quality was not bad at all...
Cheers,

Well since youre the tube expert around, you may know what i should go for.
Tubes for the ultimate (i know such thing as ultimate amps dosnt exist...i though trust your judgement better than mine when it comes to tubes) pre and power amp.........im not looking to import for any market, its for myself.

Hi,
Errr...pretty much the breastline of that avatar you're displaying....
Flamin' hormones...Excuse.
By linelevel is meant a CD or equivalent source not really requireing amplification even a lot of people use some.
Think low mu, low Zout tubes acting as semi-buffers to the amp.
That's a huge raft of tubes from triodes to pentodes...
Any preference for directly heated triodes or whatever?

Directly heated???
As you may have figured....im 100% new to tubes
Linelevel it is then.

Hey-Hey!!!!,
For a beginner, I would recommend the Bottlehead assembly manuals. Nice linestage design, can be used with a whole raft of dual triodes. They have amplifiers which are directly heated,so that part of the circuitry is explained also.
The manuals are not to expensive and contain all technical specifications of the parts, so you can shop for other sources for your particular tube's requirements. They also have layout pictures, which will give you some idea of how things should be done, until you learn the detailed reasons yourself.
One thing, their stuff is all parallel feed in the output stage, and that is not absolutely the simplest thing to do, just one way to skin the proverbial cat. Thye have great skill at getting parts which are jsut adequate for the job at hand, although recently they have started offering Iron which has some reserve capacity in case you want to deviate radically from the original design. Very careful are those guys, and skilled...anyway, good luck getting your project off the ground, there is help all over the place.
regards,
Douglas
