The Tube Store sells complete tube sets for the Ref 5SE for a package price. I have purchased tubes from them for several years with total satisfaction. There are three option levels of quality for the Ref 5SE, ranging from about USD199 for a basic tube set to USD1547 for their "Ultimate" set containing DR Reflector 6H30s. The middle grade is probably the best choice, at USD237. You can look over their offerings at:
https://www.thetubestore.com/shop-by...e-stage-preamp There is an uncharge for matching.
Another well regarded tube vendor for ARC products is UpScale Audio, at
https://upscaleaudio.com/collections/vacuum-tubes Call or email Kevin Deal for package pricing. He also offers different quality options.
Of course, you can't go wrong to buy from ARC, but you will pay a bit more than either of the middle options from The Tube Store or UpScale
