| This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us very funny brauser, by the way, is the second one a spare? | |
| My Audio Research experience minorl,No one is really talking about getting into the nuts and bolts of circuit design, just the most basic discussion that unwary buyers may want a heads up that there may be an increased chance of expensive repairs required down the line versus... | |
| Devialet Expert Long Term Experience? Or perhaps the JC1's are just as good an audio product, which I suspect they are. | |
| My Audio Research experience Sorry thazeldean, you will see I supported you in multiple posts above, but this whine lost your credibility with me: "Grogan, you really fit the name!!! ..."I have read jm's post for years, sometimes disagree, sometimes agree, but never come aw... | |
| My Audio Research experience kalali,Did you not agree with bdp24's post above? It's not the maintenance cost that is the problem, its the design philosophy of not fusing the output tubes. Even though you will you pay ARC twice as much for the same tubes you could buy for le... | |

| My Audio Research experience jmcgrogan2, your experience certainly trumps my conjecture. I vaguely remember reading a few post where people mentioned that when their ARC blew a tube they sometimes take out resistors. Maybe the fuse doesn't blow first? This may have been jus... | |
| My Audio Research experience 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... | |
| My Audio Research experience Not having owned ARC products so skin in the game, besides the glowing recommendations, it seems from reading Agon that ARC is a bit on the higher side of average in terms of needing repairs. | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Is it that the wire drawing process results in crystals with edges that snag and slow the photons when the wire is inserted in the wrong direction? |
