Ticking noise in Audio Research Reference CD7

Thanks guys.
Anyone knows of a reliable and reasonably priced source for the DR version tubes?
Cheers from Paris.

Amuseb ...

ARC has all the tubes you need in stock. Also, as others have said, the power supply upgrade is well worth the nominal cost. Get the upgrade and new tubes at the same time. Hmm ... I wonder what the shipping cost will be from France?

Thanks Oregonpapa.

Do ARC also sell out of manufacturing tubes such as the DR or the NOS 6550's?
I thought they were only selling tubes that are still available from existing manufacturers and their current tube types.

It would cost a lot to ship to the US and back and the local rep in France takes 450 euros for the upgrade (a hefty equivalent to 600 USD)...
Again , it's not a ton of money in the perespective of a good hifi system but yet it's not a given either.

Thanks for anymore comments if one has them.
Regards.

hello Amuseb send me an Email at jg.kaspersen@kpnmail.nl
I have pictures to install the power supply upgrade

hello Amuseb , not interested , if you can do the upgrade yourself by bying the parts needed , or know somebody who can do it for you , you will save a lot of money , as I know that ARC France is asking crazy prices ( same as in Germany )You will need two resistors , a tubeholder ,a 6550 tube and some wiring .Time to install about half an hour .I got the upgrade as service in Holland , so i 'm able to help other ARC people .BTW I don 't sell parts .
