Tubes for ARC VT100

Hi

I am looking to replace the power tubes in my ARC VT 100. I had previously purchased from Upscale but they would not supply ARC owners anymore.

As I am from singapore, there is no company that sells with that kind of testing that Upscale does. I did buy from a shop in Singapore once and had to throw it all away as the tubes were all faulty.

So if anyone that has ARC gear can recommend tubes and where to buy, it would be appreciated

I've bought matched quads of power tubes from Tube Depot and have been very satisfied plus they have a large selection of 6550's.

Thanks. Do they run the tubes for a period of time first before despatching them like Upscale Audio?

Andy at Vintage Tube Services is who you should call. All his tubes are properly tested.Check out his website and you will see what I mean. Good Luck

Danieljoseph- I know that the Upscale site states that they are no longer retubing the VT-100's(ie: on the SED 6550 and KT88 pages), BUT- has Kevin actually told you that he won't SELL you tubes? Perhaps that statement refers to THEM doing the retubing, rather than the owner? Have you actually called/e-mailed and asked?
