Audio Research service


I have heard that ARC's service is not the greatest, is there truth to this? Give your experience.

The fact that you can get schematics for old stuff is simply great. Friend of mine was working on a SP-8 - turns out there were something like three or four pretty distinctly different versions of this product - because the unit had been worked on by others (a lot) - it wasn't completely clear what it was at this time in it's life. Tech sent out two schematics - units fixed and sounds absolutely wonderful.I would also agree that Leonard is a champ on the old stuff - product knowledge is so rare today.
Leonard isn't there anymore, and Audio Research service doesn't seem to be there either.........I wish I could say I had a good experience, but I can't........My remote being lost on the last service I had on a LS-10 was too much.......They don't have the remotes anymore and don't seem to know where to get one, my loss.......I now have a 5500.00 LS-10 with no remote........
Thanks! for sharing- autospec-

it is imperative that we all share our experiences when dealing w/ these companies. Customer Service, should always be 1st in order= complete satisfaction.  ARC lost your remote, then, it is on them to replace or compensate!  Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
I am extremely happy with ARC service. They go beyond and above to help me out even my ARC power amp is out of warranty.
