Tobes, that's good to know.
My current tubes came from ARC about a year back. They shipped me 6 tubes, 1 special low noise (more expensive) for slot 1, which is the one most towards the rear of the three phono tubes to the right looking in from the front.
Knowing that now, I can be smarter moving forward about what tubes are needed to get the job done effectively without overpaying for no reason.
My phono section is very quiet. I have low tolerance for any background noise when listening. My only wish is that I could turn off the phono section separately from the rest to save tube life in that lately I have been lazy and listening mostly to music server digital.
