What is the return policy?
  Returns and Warranty

Tube Condition:
We guarantee all tubes for Authenticity and Quality. New Old Stock (NOS) is a term often abused online for used or like-new tubes. Tubes that we describe as “NOS”  are tubes with no socket time except for testing on our equipment. All other tubes will be listed as Like New or Used depending upon the condition and amount of use.

All tubes are tested and matched on at least one of the following top of the line and regularly calibrated tube testers, including: the Hickok 580 Lab Grade Tester, or the Hickok 600A/6000 tube tester, or the Hickok 800 Dynamic Mutual Conductance tube tester. Where described, some tubes may be pre-tested by our sources on AVO (British), Hickok 539C, Hickok 752, TV-7DU and Funke (West German) testers.

Sound:
We cannot guarantee “sound” of specific tubes. We can only vouch for the electrical properties. How a tube sounds is a function of the system synergy, acoustics and personal preferences etc. The same tube can sound different in different systems. Any reviews of tubes on our site or on other on-line forums are observations of one person based on their system and personal preferences. There is no such thing as the best tube in any category. However, there are tubes that can be regarded as more desirable than others.

Microphonics:
Just like the “Sound” above, there is no one foolproof test for microphonics. The same tube can be microphonic in one setup and work perfectly in another. If the tubes are microphonic and unusable in your system, we may, at our discretion, either choose to replace it or offer store credit on case-by-case basis.

Tubes will be replaced ONLY for electrical faults. Please, no tube rolling at our expense.

If there is a problem with your tubes, please e-mail us with details of your purchase.
