AFAIK, the ARTs are indeed starved-plate. i never changed the tube in mine so don't know how much difference it would make. i do intend to swap out the tubes in my Brick once i get time — i read in several online sources that it can make a big difference (being a Groove Tubes product, naturally it has Groove Tubes in it; their quality can vary).
