Welcome to Tube Distinctions; We design, build, and repair serious valve/Tube Amplification, with over 20 years experience. We also repair/service most types of valve/tube equipment and supply new old stock and currently manufactured valves/parts etc.

NEW!
See a video of a valve being made by hand! Click the image on the right to watch the clip...

As you probably already know, new old stock, original brand named valves like MULLARD, GEC, BRIMAR,MAZDA,PHILIPS etc, especially popular types, e.g. ECC83, EF86, EL84, EL34, KT66, and KT88, etc are very hard to find these days. Most of the valves for sale here are new old stock, but I also have a lot of clean, used items which are all tested and are well within original manufacturers spec.

We have various parts in stock, from new old stock valve/tube bases, original carbon resistors (essential for those who require originality), paper in oil block capacitors, plus axial types from manufacturers like TCC. Also, electrolytics and silver mica types. Wire wound and carbon type pots, rotary switches, etc, etc.

Custom Equipment

I have made lots of specialist/custom equipment for a variety of customers over the years and continue to do so. These include power amps (most types; e.g. push-pull, single ended, direct coupled, etc.) and various type of pre-amps (line level, phono-stages, etc.) I have also designed and built a number of guitar amplifiers and test equipment, for valve/tube testing, etc.

My Current System

This section is dedicated to my own personal system, and the components I am using at the moment. It will be frequently updated when there are changes to the current set up...
