I can easily get the AR amps to Absolute Sounds, the importer in the Uk who will replace the valves but I’m told it takes a while and is expensive (anyone any experience of this?). Or I buy and replace/bias myself. But exactly what do I buy/for the Ref 110?
Audio Research - should I replace the valves?
I have a AR Ref 110 power amp and AR Ref 3 preamp. Both have done about 3,800 hours. They both work but I wonder if should be replacing the valves.
How can you tell if they’ve had it? Does the sound quality deteriorate & what happens if you don’t replace them?
i don’t think they sounds as good as they did but no pops or whistles or any other strange noises etc - just a bit flat sounding. But perhaps this is just my ears?
