Buy tubes from Audio Research or not

I have done it both ways..I guess I would say if you love the way it sounds now and just plan on changing to new tubes go the cheapest way out and get the same tubes..Personally I like to experiment and prefer going to a realible tube supplier and try different NOS tubes.............Either way is fine..Plenty of good realiable tube suppliers out there..

Taters...i think you end up paying 2x what you can pay from a decent tube supplier if you purchase from ARC. What amp do you need to retube?

Vt-100mkIII

Taters,

I seem to recall that ARC had some provision in their warranty that stated that the use of non-ARC tubes may void the warranty. I recommend that you check it out before doing any tube rolling.

Good Luck!

I'm only interested in re-tubing my amp. I'm not looking at tube rolling.
