Retubing Question


I just got my amp back from ARC corp with new 6922 signal tubes installed. I have seen on audiogon,the same tubes for less then half the price. I know ARC has some markup in the tubes it sells. Now my question. Could I have done this myself, buying the tubes off of audiogon and saved some money,Or do the tubes need to be adjusted in someway. I understand about matched sets, and I do not have any equiment to test the tubes. As you can tell,I am just learning about tube replacement. Thanks for your feedback.

Of course you could do it yourself. There's nothing special about what they are supplying. 6922s generally do not need matching. (in fact, most tubes don't.... Circuit design takes care of it.)

Next time you will know... (and try some NOS/vintage 6922s - they slay any of the modern versions, in a big way.)
