Kt-88's for ARC amp

I need a retube and a tech-tube supplier recommended that I try this tube. He's says it's much warmer sounding and musical compared to the 6550. Have any of you tried this tube in your ARC amp?

I called CJ to ask if I could use KT88's and they did not advise it. I was told that I would have problems biasing the tubes. I would check with ARC to insure that your amp wouldn't have the same type of problem that I would have faced.

"ATTENTION! We are no longer re-tubing Audio Research VT100 amplifiers. Mk1, Mk2, Mk3... doesn't matter... no exceptions. "
