The "pop" is normal on some ARC SS amps - don't know about the arc. Call ARC and ask them. They will give you a straight answer. I'm betting it's normal.
Audio Research 150.2 problem?
I just posted under the wrong subject, so I'll try again.
When I turn my 150.2 "on" I get a pop through the speakers. It is not loud and could be described as static. Also when I darken the room I can see an ark inside the case at the on/off switch. I always warm the pre-amp before turning the amp on. I am the second owner and to me it sounds great. Should Audio Research take a look, or nothing to worry about? Thanks
