I agree with Devilboy completely with his assessment of this so called generation,when it comes to music. This generation for what I see is slovenly,rude and crude also very ill mannered. I can't say how many times I go out to dinner and looking a... 
What piece of music can you play over & over?
The Love duet in Pagliacci between Silvio and Nedda...the DG recording with Carlo Bergonzi. 
Service or Replace ARC D90 Amp
I would do this if I were in your place, before making any hasty decision about this amp. I would seek out an outside source someone competent who knows the amp or at least work's extensively on tube gear and let them give you an estimate on the w...
