Audio Research VT-50 Question

This one is for owners of Audio Research VT-50 power amps but I assume that the VT-100 II is the same: If you retubed the unit yourself did you notice any sound degradation? I know ARC recommends sending the amp in for retubing which is not really all that practical for me.

As long as you use quality tubes and rebias to factory specs there should be no reduction of sound quality.
Using "matched pairs" of tubes will help some.
Also, allow for tubes to burn in.
Phone Audio Research and ask Lenard to send you instructions for rebiasing.
