There are times when it would be nice if ARC would give users a bit more information about replacing tubes rather than their assumption that you just need to buy a set from them. The input driver tube adjustments on the VT 100,100 mkII,50 are agood example of this. No mention of it in the manual at all. I'm not sure really how critical it is but it would be nice to know about anyway.

I agree with you on tube life. For my use, tube life is very important.I would rather spend my time listening to music when I want to and not changing tubes. I do like an amp that won't stress them so badly that they die prematurely. That's just one of the many things I love about my ARC amp.
