But because he wanted to use the new KT150's instead of the original KT120's , ARC during that time cannot supply him w/ the 32 KT 150's ( 4 matched octets ) his amplifiers need . I got in touch w/ Jim & he was able to deliver.

Jim McShane didn't stock KT150s When I contacted him due to lack of demand.

When shopping for power tubes (NOT NOS), I look for dealers with higher quality and larger supply of tubes for a better match. Upscale states they pay extra for tubes with higher micromhos. I always buy from ARC and considering giving Upscale a spin.
