"There is a reason ARC charge as much for the tubes as they do - they measure their tubes, burn them in inhouse for 48h, measure them again - and then throw away those that up to specs. As much as 30% tubes gets rejected this way. No other independent tube supplier I'm aware of does offer this kind of service."
I'll be needed tubes for an ARC sp16 pre-amp at some point.
My impression is that the QC service ARC provides as described is worth a premium.
Anybody know how much of a premium to expect to pay for tubes from ARC versus other likely internet sellers?
