ARC D-115: What tubes and cables?

Hello all, I am seeking input on which tubes and cables will help in providing neutrality and extension in the highs for this amp. The tube complement is SED 6550 with 50% life in them and brand new Gold Lion and Sylvania NOS for the driver tubes. My dealer suggests KT88s slhould be next.
Any input would be appreciated!

Wahwah ,Yes Purist wires would be a giant leap ahead.
Magnan worked well at a more reasonable cost
Without knowing your complete system its difficult to suggest what should work for you but I would upgrade the Radio Shack wires before replacing the tubes

I always used 6550 tubes from ARC with this amp.
In your header you also ask about cables.
I found Purist Audio to work extremely well
