Paul has a great deal of valuable knowledge in the world of vintage tubes. Along with being an all round marvelous human – once an ongoing trade relationship is established he is also very generous with lending out tubes on short term loans to allow clients to listen to the differing sonic characteristics that the world of tube rolling can bring to your individual systems ie “try before you buy”. I simply can’t recommended Paul enough!!

Wow, Stunning. Once they have warmed up for an hour it just gets better. Sounds like the music is dipped in honey but with the deepest bass and widest soundstage i’ve heard. I’m stoked. My Amp finally sounds like what i thought a tube amp would sound like. And i’ve had this for 10 years, should have done this a long time ago 🙂 I see what all the fuss is about with NOS now….. Time for a beer
Very happy with the product and service from Paul. I needed to replace 4 PC88 tubes in my preamp and Paul had a quad from the original manufacturer! You can trust Paul to set you right.
Passionate, authentic, genuine and a good bugger. Pleased to pick up a quad set vintage Blackburn UK Mullard XF2 EL34 today with the unexpected bonus of sage advice and a nice set of tests on my rag tag collection of tubes.
When I first got my hybrid preamp it was an excellent performer, but had started to break down recently. Paul tested the valves for me and found them to be needing replacement. He provided me with high quality replacements and it’s far better now than I remember it ever being. He is a real enthusiast and happy to discuss and provide advice. I very highly recommend him. Thank you Paul.
Paul is a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable. Fast and reliable service. A++
Paul is a legend. He came to our place so we could test various tubes in our microphones. The world needs more people like Paul!
Five Star Rating!!! Paul was very welcoming, shared knowledge and provided perfect advice on what NOS tubes would bring to get the best out my amplification – Wow, it sure did!!! We Couldn’t be happier!! The recommended NOS Mullard GZ34 rectifiers gave a more complete sound in all areas including emotional engagement, tonal realism, more detail, and of course that Mullard silkiness they are renowned for!! If you have tube gear, and looking to improve, give Paul a call, you’ll be glad you did!!
Paul is a really good guy. He’s always ready to help and he’s a great communicator. I’ve got a few tubes from him and his product is unquestionably high quality.
For those who have a desire to seek out the rarest and most divine of tubes, Paul needs to be among the first ports of call, if not the last… but only after I’ve been through, please. Respect.
