Links to info on Valves

[wkhanna]

I thought we should make a list of links for info and reference material related to Valves.
Note that links to companies selling services or products are not endorsed by me or this site, and are included only as sources for general information.

Please feel free to add any of your favorite links to the list.

Music Reference
At the bottom center, your will see a list of articles by Roger Modjeski. He has been building, repairing and designing Valve gear since 1956 at the age of five. He willingly shares a thing or two he learned along way.

Tons of great info here for the DIY Valve junkie!

An RCA Tube Manual is an indispensable reference tool for the serious tubeophile. I still have my well worn copy from the 1970's. The first couple of chapters has information on circuit fundamentals and amplifier classes. The back of the manual has various a few complete projects with parts lists.

This was a quick perusal of my large Favorites list. I'll come up with more , but there is much time to be wasted on these sites. From DIY (Bottlehead) to high end (TTVJ , Leben , Manley , etc..)

Anyone have a link to a reliable TUBE store in Canada? Ontario preferably. I want to replace the stock 12AU7 and 12AX7. Trying to warm the sound out just a little more.

The only place I know in Canada is the Parts Connexion. I've bought stuff from them before, but never tubes. They have decent selection though.

A quick search produced a few finds including these two.
I have no clue as to their reputation or customer feedback.

Canuck Audio Mart seems to have a decent rep around the web , same for Parts Connexion.

I've had good luck with JJ's but in a 6922 tube.
