Tubes

I have a good amount of good quality tube pres and amps and the last 2 times
I bought tubes from JJ's they lasted literally for weeks and went bad. I'm
done with JJ's tubes. Where do you guys go for quality tubes these days? Can
you even get quality tubes anymore?
I have used JJ tubes for years and never had any problems. What failed on
them, and are the preamps running within normal levels? If you have leaky
caps screwing the bias levels up, any tube may be damaged.
Also... who did you buy them from? There is a lot of Chinese crap out there,
mostly relabelled as NOS American and British product but some of it may well
be relabelled as JJ stuff.
What kind of tubes do you need? 12AX7s are easy to find, EF804s not so easy.
