| Service from Audio Research To all: please take note that Tli started this thread on May 8th. Today is May 15th -- just 7 days later. I realize the OP said the problem preceded the date of the original post, but what the hay! I think this good ending speaks volumes about ARC... | |
| Anyone catch news about The Fine Sounds Group? I wonder if new management will add to, or spin off, any of the portfolio companies? I also wonder if the new team will institute changes in the way the portfolio companies are managed? | |
| Catridge needle bent Check with Peter Leddermann at Sound-Smith or Andy (Chong Kim. Both have very good reputations. | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- You never throw away "spent" tubes. | |
| Service from Audio Research Tli, you may very well be right. Last easy suggestion. Check all your tubes. I doubt a bad tube is at issue, but again, no harm in checking. If still a "no go," call Kal or Chris first thing Monday am. ARC **will** make it right for you. I'd also ... | |
| Service from Audio Research On more thought Tli. Did you try switching your amp/speaker combo? I realize there is almost a zero possibility that a speaker issue is causing the fault with the amp, but what the heck, what does it hurt to give it a try? | |
| Service from Audio Research Hey Tli, got a dumb idea. Are you using the 12V triggers to turn the amps on and off through your preamp? If not, try tying the amps together using the triggers. If you are using the triggers, unplug em' and turn the amps on and off manually. Just... | |
| Service from Audio Research Tli, I would reach out to Kal or Chris at ARC first thing Monday morning (Minn. time). I'm not going to stick my nose into the dealer aspect of the problem. But it seems to me that if ARC thinks there's a dealer angle to solving your issue, then I... | |
| Service from Audio Research Thanks for the update Tli. I'm not a techie so take this with a grain of salt. I got a funny feeling it's an easy fix, whatever the problem may be. | |
| Service from Audio Research No Tli. Your experience is not consistemt with my mine. Try calling Kalvin Dahl, ARC Customer Service, or Chris Ossana, Tech Service Manager. I would try Kal first since he does retail customer intake. If you can't reach Kal, try Chris.IMO, ARC is... | |
| Audio Research CD6 Jl ... I started a thread some time ago about the same issue. I own the ARC Ref CD-8, which has a similar circuit topology and uses the same DAC as the CD-5. I have little or no interest ... yet ... in the DAC features of the CD-6 or Ref CD-9. The... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Milimetr ... that's a great explanation. I'm sure the factors you describe are (or were) also under consideration by ARC. Quite honestly, I'm not sure what "life testing" entails. Perhaps it involves running the tube in actual operation in the amp... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Traded some e mails with Kal at ARC. He reported that ARC is still doing life testing on the KT-150. Kal declined to provide any further information or advice. That's all there is to report. | |
| Dumb VTA Question Folks, I make this post with a smile and a frown. Based on the good advice from Jonathan Carr and a few others, I've made arrangements to send my Kleos back to Lyra for a check up. The smile is that I am taking the advice of people who know what t... | |
| Dumb VTA Question Thanks J Carr!! :)I will be sad until I get my Kleos back. :( :( |
