Apologies for the delay in dispatch. We ship most orders next business day by Royal Mail even during the COVID19 period but unfortunately, yours was delayed 24hours. The post took a further 5 days to get it to you so I completely unerstand your frustration.

Perfect... but ;-)
Hello,
I give you 5 stars for the quality and musicality of the valves I ordered you as well as for the parcels (reasonable delivery times and packaging quality). However, I would like to have an answer to the questions I put to you about a week ago.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Thanks.

Great sounding 6SN7GT triodes
Bought a pair of 6SN7GT triodes from Brimar as I loved the idea of knowledgable experts seeking to recreate a product range that was superb in its heyday. The prices are fair and I'm more than impressed with the sound these valves allow.
Later this year, when the lockdown is ended and I've checked that I'm still solvent :-), I'm going to order the Buchanan amplifier.

Well packaged and good delivery. Unfortunately didn't fix the problem but obviously that's not Brimars fault. 😁

I'm fully satisfied with the EL 34 I've been using for a few months : very good tubes , the best of all contemporary tubes I've ever tried...
As far as the( very recently tested) ECC82 and ECC83 are concerned ,the latter is pleasant but a bit too soft to my taste and one of the ECC82 broke down after a few hours of use...So I can't say much about them .
Yours truly. R.B.

Thank you Robert for your review. I am sorry to hear that one of the ECC82s has failed. It is covered by our warranty and I am currently arranging to have another one shipped to you. The nice thing about valves is that they all have their own flavour and so choices are very personal. Just for your info, we have a new 12AX7 which unfortunately is a bit delayed by the lock down which may be more to your liking. Stay safe - Bob
prompt delivery and sounds great !

Hi Stuart, We do have record of your contact in July last year and Feb this year. We also did send you a reply so please do check your SPAM folder. We make the Buchanan to order at the moment but there is an extended lead time due to component supply constraints at the moment. Regards - Bob

I don't give five stars because I can't have any communication with somebody from the team.
But the tubes are excellent. They sound almost like NOS. Every one who listen the tubes like the sound.
Thank you very much for the quality of yours tubes and also for the price...

Very friendly company and the valves sound great in my phono stage. Only four stars as I’ve recently found out that some folks are only getting 20 to 50 hours out of them. My fingers are crossed. As a company they seem pretty good.

Thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear that you like the sound produced by our valves but are concerned that people are only getting such a short lifetime from our tubes. All our valves are shipped with a 12month fair use warranty and we closely monitor for early life failures. In the unlikely event that you do have a problem with your valves, pleaase contact us immediately. Regards - Bob
