voltage regulator tubes
11/07/12 at 16:16:08
 
Does anyone have a good source besides ebay for finding these?  Read an interesting article relating to voltage output depending on whether they are oa3,ob3,oc3,od3.  The voltage output can go from 75 to roughly 125 volts depending on the tube if the article is to be believed.  I'd like to get a few different types to see how they affect the sound but couldn't find any on the usual sites. upscale and cryoset.

I can help you with OB3, OC3 and OD3 if you're interested. I have pairs of these tube types and try as I might I never prefer the sound with these in a set to the sound of OA3 in a set. . . . I would let you have them for what I paid for them which was about nine dollars a tube. PM me if you are interested.

I agree, JD. There are good people on these forums...

I have bought these tubes from www dot thetubestore dot com. I wanted to have some spares in case something fails. They were low cost.

Just do a search for 0a3, 0b3, 0c3, or 0d3 on their site. Thanks

You're welcome J. I am of course trusting of members of this forum, and the post office is a part of a three mile walk I often do, so I got these in the mail just a bit ago. Should have them by the weekend or Monday at the latest (sent Priority).
