I'm not an ARC repairman but....

...I found part designations on the PCBs and part numbers on the parts for a couple ARC pieces that I repaired myself. The schematics were also good. Perhaps I was lucky in getting the schematics as there was an ARC tech named "Leonard" who just sent them to me upon request.

But in the end, I learned that the ARC sound is not for me. It's like taking the best of SS and the best of tubes and compromising the benefits of each in the mix. Most of their preamps appear to be SS JFET with 6H30 tube buffers on the output.... which only roll-off and veil what the SS side is capable of.
