Default Guitar people v.tubes?

I need to buy tubes for my Randall tube amp (110 watt combo - rgt-100 i think). Basically, I need a matched set of 6l6 tubes. Problem is, I'm cheap! Where you guys buy your tubes? How much would you spend for a set of 4? I haven't had to re-tube it before....

Line 6 Spider II - absolutely love it. I almost got the Spider III but I got this one used for $100 less. The only thing I don't like about it is that it uses cat5 to connect to the pedal switch, but other than that.. solid amp, sounds great at practice volume or cranked up.

What kind of guitar/amp are you runnin?

For the past few years, primarily played my yamaha acoustic. I also have an epiphone LP Standard and numerous no-name guitars. The only amp I still have is the Randall RGT-100. Crazy powerful when I used to gig in HS...but it has been many many years. Bad ass amp for sure, but it is VERY loud from the second the tubes kick in.

Some of the Russian tubes are well regarded as replacements in high end audio amps...Here are some Svetlanas
