I agree w ghasly
Used to sell ARC. There should be no noise heard from that amp.
Also, if you prefer clarity, reality, correct timbres and detail, Arc is tough to beat. If you like "beautiful, smooth and sublime and "weighty" or in other words distortion added to harmonic orders, you'd be happier w something else.
It all depends on taste. Some people are bothered big time with the ARC sound and some people don't like spaghetti which is unfathomable to me.
