No I'm not locked into 1976. I'm locked into not even considering ARC

For any future equipment acquisition. New or used or "gift". Friends have ARC Ref something preamps. Sound decent but unreliable. Most pieces have been back to ARC for repairs at some point. Two of those ARC Refs roll off high end significantly depending on setting of volume control. ARC says "normal". No thank-you! Life is too short to put up with this kind of product (un) reliability and design. Plus, there are plenty of other worthy brands to consider with equal or better sonics. And they don't rely on Russian "super tubes" (6H30).
