Thanks for the further feedback. Audio Connection have two technicians who work on the ARC gear. Between them and ARC themselves (sent them a fax and received a detailed helpful reply) it was decided that all the sockets should be replaced with ceramic gold-pins, and I cleaned the board too. Not cheap, but problem solved.

After some deliberation, I subsequently decided to buy a Jadis Orchestra Reference - beautiful sound, no fan noise, and looks great too, but less power than the ARC combo. I had the D125 for years and soundwise couldn't justify buying the VT100 - the VS110 also didn't eclipse it.

Cheers, Rob.
