Any ideas?? ARC CD 3 doesn't work

Minor1, I concur with your thoughts, my CD 3 is on the test bench waiting in queue to be diagnosed. As observations goes prior to this when I cleaning in my listening room I always checked it and it was never more than just warm even after an hour or 2 of listening. Thankfully no burning smell ever, but, what freaked me out was absolutely no display and when I rechecked it after trying things I found it to be cold to the touch. With very limited money, I sure hope it isn't anything more than a fuse that went protecting it as I am now missing hearing music more than ever now that it's not here. But I think I can borrow an inexpensive CD from my daughter until I find out what's wrong just that the ARC is (for me) so very good and reveals so much for me and has always been my dream of my last system to buy. As soon as I find out what's wrong I'll let everyone know that offered speculations. Thanks for your positive comments.

Correct! It's nowhere better than in USA, but one has to
bear in mind that now we're good friends with Saudi
Arabia and if they stop the pipe, we'll find Isis or
Al'Quaeda there and attack them with drones and rockets!

I concur w/ Michaela-
America, Love It or Leave It!

I hope the OP took his CD 3 to an authorized ARC service tech. These guys know their ARC gear and work closely with the factory to ensure the unit is returned to original operating spec.

or return to ARC for repair. Don't trust any tech with your ARC components.

At one time , 50-60 years ago, Rochester NY was THE best city in the USA.Now like every old industrial city from Wooster MA to Gary IN a total wreck.

Of course, Wooster MA doesn't exist. Where the hell is Wooster, MA?

Cities, countries ... expands and contracts as economy, technology ... evolves. IE: who would think North Dakota is oil town before Oil shale?

So Far NOT looking good! Tech has just been looking and has been unable to find a cause to the failure. He has not removed anything at all and we agreed that if by Monday he doesn't find the root cause that it's going off to Audio Research. He did offer that it may have been caused by a voltage fluctuation at the outlet. At this point I have a commitment to get a Shunyata Venom Defender to protect it. Right now I am so strapped that the fear of restoring it from ARC worries me but, I'll keep you informed of what might have happen as I get a definitive answer.
