ALL manufacturers have issues occasionally, just like all auto manufacturers or anyone who makes complicated products.
For example, EVERY Phase Linear amp I ever sold failed soon after purchase. Same with almost all Nakamichi products, which tended to fail after about a week or two, and Crown was not much better.
It happens. The very first ARC D-150 shipped to my shop arrived DOA. I had to pay shipping back, by the way...Bill ran a tight ship when it came to money!
My suggestion is to ask ARC WHY, after their factory service, the product keeps failing. If they have a reasonable answer, fix that issue. If not, they are a pretty good company, and you may have purchased a lemon. See your dealer and they will work something out with ARC if they are any kind of dealer at all.
Good luck!
