Buy tubes from Audio Research or not

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.

Audio Research certainly isn't making a killing selling tubes. It's simply a service the company provides because it sells tube products. If you've invested in ARC equipment, I would think you would want it to perform at its best, and you can be assured of that if you buy tubes that ARC has tested.

I found Upscale Audio to be rude, too, and this was after I had bought a set of power tubes for my ARC VT100MKIII a few years ago. Maybe Kevin or whoever I spoke to was just having a bad day, but there are several better options if you don't want to buy from ARC. Or go ahead and roll the dice.
