Thanks for all the input guys !
I was thinking about KCA in the US but i thought i remember reading on the TGP that he wasnt a fan of shipping to Canada........ but maybe i'm mistaken .
No, Mike will ship to Canada, but ther is a $100 minimum before shipping and shipping is about $25 USD, so he's better for larger orders. I've also used the tube depot, for smaller orders, I really liked the way they packed the tubes:

NOS 12AX7's (or 7025's if you can find them) will probably be worthwhile in a super, the circuit was designed around them, and I have heard several BF 60's supers before and after NOS tube swaps, and preferred the NOS in nearly every case.
Changing V1 will mike the biggest difference IMO.
For 6L6 the Groove Tubes 6L6 GE (USA) is pretty close to NOS specs if you can't track down a NOS dealer in Canada.

Might be worthwhile trying a matched phase inverter also, the old Fenders seem to really sing with new output tubes and a matched inverter (12AT7 in super).
