ARC Ref 2 Mk II tube rolling suggestions, please

Hi,

I've had my ARC Ref 2 Mk II several years now and think it's time to re-tube. Rather than just replace the tubes with the same model/makes, I'm very interested in some suggestions. Also, when packing for my recent move (preamp still packed), I noticed one of the tube dampers had melted on to one of the 6H30s (or whichever tube there are 8 of). Is that a sign that dampers s/b avoided? Thanks!

The only 'rolling' you can do with 6H30 tubes is between the cheaper Sovtek 6H30Pi and the more expensive 6H30P-DR. The latter may make a difference in your unit.
Agree with Gundam91 about your tube damper. Try Herbie's tube dampers.
