knghifi, why would you think it is unreasonable to replace tubes to make sure that it is just not a blown tube before sending an amp out for repair?   I would try a new tube and check the fuses if the ARC has replaceable ones.  His amp was gone fo...

Well said all the way around timlub.  Was also wondering if op received a refund or the speakers were refinished?

^^^ A very good suggestion.  However, I believe in another thread someone posted links to pictures of SR black receptacles that were identical visually to those sold at Lowes, but the SRs were treated with 2,000,000 volts and a graphene coating.  ...

Saw john with catfish hunter many years ago in NY in basically an old warehouse where you sat on the ground.  Very hot summer day, of course not air conditioned, they strolled out and sat on the stage floor with nothing but a large bottle of whisk...
