As I am located in germany my main source is

https://www.tube-town.net/ttstore/

the owners knowledge and service is stunning ...

From time to time I stop by

http://www.axesrus.com/
http://www.rockinger.com/

good pedals and parts:

http://www.uk-electronic.de/

great amp kits:

http://www.musikding.de

another source for current production tubes:

http://www.btb-elektronik.de/

Cases from

http://www.swanflight.com/

The following was my favourite shop but as they do not stock anymore may favourite picks and strings I rarely order there

http://www.tone-toys.com/shop/

There is probably more but that's it mainly for me. Perhaps Thomann is worth mentioning as well and I try to stay away from TAD as really every little piece they sell is slightly overpriced.
