ARC Preamps: Factory or Other Tubes?


I ordered a new set of tubes for my SP-11 which I have been using since May of last year. I sometimes leave the preamp on for a few weeks at a stretch, so I am guessing I might be due for a new set again before too long.

They latest tubes seem to work just fine, and the service from Audio Research was very good. Still, I am curious when I read threads about others experimenting with different tube suppliers.

Without getting into the totally geeked out, rare, expensive NOS type stuff, is there somewhere other than the factory I can call for new tubes?

Any other suggestions on this topic?

Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio is a good source for tubes. Some aren't any or much more than stock.
