What’s up with The Tube Depot? (JJ Tubes)

[Feloniuspunk]

I’m just now getting back into playing after Covid. Was thinking of putting some new tubes in my Rivera Jazz Suprema 55. Went to the old Tube Depot website and it looked a lot different from last time, which, granted, was several years ago. Are they still in business? Found the site difficult to navigate.

I think Eurotubes.com is usually a couple of bucks cheaper for the exact same tubes, but that site looks similar to the way it did last time I looked (February maybe?).

Not sure what kind of problems you're encountering. The website is current and functional. Check out this link Rivera 55w.

Thx! I had forgotten Eurotubes. That's the site I was looking for. I believe Tube Depot is a different company altogether, although they sell JJ tubes too.

Even though I quit using tubes years ago. I really liked TAD branded tubes. I’m not sure who makes them for them

Same, I really liked the last sets of TAD tubes I had in both my Bassman 50 and Mark IV. The Mark is getting on to needing new new tubes currently, but I've mostly switched all my playing to my TM Twin at this point so I'm not rushing it.

I used them in a Mesa Boogie Nomad 50 as well. Always with great results!

TAD tubes are usually from chinese manufactures.

FWIW, I get my tubes from this store:
Tube-Town Store - Tube-Town Store

Good quality and more reasonable prices than TAD.
Just my 2c.

Chinese made specifically for them. There are only 4 manufacturers of tubes, the others from Russia, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. I assume Russian tube distribution is in a bad way.
