Buy tubes from Audio Research or not


I need to retube my ARC amp and I'm wondering if there is an advantage buying tubes from ARC vs and Independant tube dealer.

I wasn't being rude. I was being direct. I guess that can come off as rude to someone that won't take no for an answer. You asked my assistant 3 times to sell you tubes. He told you 3 times we do not re-tube the VT100 anymore. It's been that way for over a year and is clearly stated on our website. He was not being rude or mean, he was simply informing you of our policy regarding that amp, and you were being difficult. So I jumped on the phone to end it.

I appreciate the shouts from others, and if it were any other amp the story would be quite different. I just don't want to retube that amp anymore.
The last set of tubes I bought for my little ARC VT50 I bought from Upscale Audio. When it comes time to re-tube the Amp I will do the same, buy them from Upscale Audio.

Taters,
In case you haven't re-tubed your Amp in the past, you might want to check this out.

Might explain a little better why Upscale Audio does not sales tubes for the VT 100 Amp.
Yes, You were rude when you said never call back here. I know you from F-chat and you were a jerk there as well.

Sorry about that.....
Glad I don't own this amp! I wouldn't want to be bothered with all of this no matter how good it might sound.
