| Should I As many have said get it checked out. I would add that it would be best to send to Rowland for the check and possible replacements. I have an ARC D-111 from 1981 purchased from an ARC engineer who was the original. owner. There were only twenty... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? @hifiman5 I like several others here have a family that have zero interest in my audio and to go a step further neither of my kids want basically anything in the house.
