Hey guys, time is of the essence with this one. Right now, I do not need the Kreme' De La Kreme' of tubes. Just something that can test a piece of gear without fear of getting a tube from someone unknown just trying to make a quick buck that will end up ruining my kit.
Need a quad.
Need it fast.
Who do you trust to provide me with this? Budget up to $200.00 for now. Talk to me...

The organ tubes seem to have been better tested against gremlins. If you want dead quite tubes they are usually it.
