Can you simply swap out 6922-variety tubes for the 6H30's or did you need to have the circuit modified to do that?
Supertube Question
I recently took the plunge and bought 6H30P-DR "Supertubes" for my ARC LS26...I couldn't be happier. I'm not good with audiophile superlatives, but in Spinal Tap lingo, it now "goes to 11".
The improvements are so exciting that now I'm wondering what improvements might be gained from using Supertubes in my ARC VT 100iii...which has 2 6H30 tubes per channel, used as "drivers", whatever that is. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who understands amp architecture and could explain whether tubes used as "drivers" would likely benefit from the upgrade as much as the preamp.
Thanks for all your observations, and Merry Christmas to all...
