I owned an ARC LS-1 and also had to tame this monster!Call Lenard (at the ARC factory) and tell him your problem.He sent me a diagram of the solder traces (bottom of circuit board) and told me where to sever a trace to reduce overall gain (it work... | |
| How to use Accubias feature on Onkyo tape deck? I own the TA-2090 which has this feature. From memory, just insert a tape and push the accubias button. The machine does the rest!
