I bought some EL84s from The Tube Amp Doctor and was very impressed with the service. Shipped from Germany to the UK without any hassle.

I don't recall paying for anything more than postage.

Got mine from Tube Amp Doctor as well.

The TAD tubes are really good and durable. Great service as well. Not sure what you want? Just ask them for advice.

As long as you're in the EU there won't be any further taxes/duties.

Hotrox. Speedy & reliable.

I got one that was microphonic out of the box and they said to return it and they replaced it free of charge.
