Viggen, sorry to hear about the problems with your ARC amp, once fixed I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. In the last seven months I purchased a Blue Circle BC21 preamp and a Kora Hermes DAC and they've been flawless, however they only use two tubes each, unlike an amp which uses many more.
When I was talking to Rick in early March about getting the cryo'd Audition Package, he offered a trade-in for the three Power 2s, but I told him I wanted to keep them for my home theater. He still cut me a generous deal while allowing me keep the Power 2s. I just need to create space and rearrange my two systems so I can fully utilize those three cables. Maybe one day I'll upgrade to the better Virtual Dynamics cables, but for now my I'm enjoying the effect the cryo'd Auditions have had in my system, and so are the ProAc Response 1SCs that are currently being broken-in.
