When I've spoken to Audio Research before, they've always had a good amount of tubes on hand, but I called them for another reason this morning (April 11) and asked and they told me they currently have no tubes for sale.
They are hoping an agreement that was recently reached will allow Russian tubes to start flowing again, but as of now they have none.
So if you have ARC gear, you may want to tone down your listening habits for the moment, or search for another source.
(Like many companies, they do have tubes to be able to keep making product, but not enough to sell any replacements.)
