Hi Harlequin,
My plan is to purchase NOS GE6550 tubes for my Ref 10 when the stock 6550 tubes reach 2,000 hours. If I purchase the Ref CD-9 player or the Ref DAC, I will do the same. One of the big advantages of the ARC Reference line is their use of the 6550 rectifier tube and the added benefit you can gain by rolling to NOS tubes.
Best,
Ken
