For nearly 50 years I have been collecting vintage Hi-End audio equipment — finding, listening to, evaluating and preserving components that have become part of serious audio history. My name is Aleksandr Krid. This website showcases part of my private collection, built over decades of personal experience and a love for vintage sound. The collection includes around 100 tube amplifiers, more than 100 pairs of loudspeakers, vintage tubes, and other carefully selected audio components. Today I am gradually offering them to collectors, audiophiles and Hi-End enthusiasts around the world.
I try to present every item as carefully as I selected it for my collection. Tube sets, for example, are matched and tested on my ELPO P-508, with measurement results recorded for each specific set.
It is important to me that you receive exactly what you expect — and, above all, exactly the item you see in the photographs.
I ship worldwide and pack every parcel carefully to ensure safe international delivery.
If you have any questions about an item, its history, condition or specifications, I will be happy to answer personally.
Welcome to OldAudio.ru — a private collection devoted to nearly five decades of passion for vintage audio.

Vintage Amplifier Tubes from a Private Collection
The tubes presented here are part of my private collection, assembled over nearly 50 years of collecting vintage Hi-End audio equipment.
These are not tubes acquired specifically for resale. They were originally selected for my own collection and for use in high-quality audio systems. As a result, I have always paid particular attention to their type, condition, markings, provenance, and overall desirability.
Where appropriate, tube sets are individually selected and matched, with measurements taken on my ELPO P-508 tube tester. The relevant test results are provided with the specific set, rather than presented as generic specifications.
I do not believe in making exaggerated claims about vintage tubes or telling you how they "must" sound. I prefer to let the history, construction, condition, measurements and photographs speak for themselves.
The photographs show the actual tubes offered for sale. When a matched set is pictured, you will receive that exact set.
For me, a vintage tube is not simply an electronic component. It is a small piece of audio history - and part of the responsibility of a collector is to preserve it properly and pass it on with complete honesty.
If you have any questions about a particular tube or set, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to provide any additional information I have.
With best regards,
Alexander Creed
