ARC Ref 10 tube rolling


I just purchased a Ref 10 which shows 2535 on the tube hours. The preamp is on the way to arrive next week. I want to know what are the recommendations for some tube rollings for the ref 10?

It uses eight 6H30P in the main units, two 6550C and two 6H30P in the power supply. Thanks!

I asked ARC for pricing for a full set of tubes for my Ref 40:  $1,200!  I bought a tightly matched octet + pair of 6H30P's from Upscale Audio (I have a stash of Winged C 6550's for the power supply).  Upscale matches as well as ARC, and the 10 tubes cost me $490.  My 2 cents.
