Any ideas?? ARC CD 3 doesn't work

Last suggestion. Don't know where you live. But you may get a speedier and less expensive turn-a-round of you deal with an ARC Service Center tech. You can call ARC and ask where the nearest authorized tech is located. If not too far away, shipping might even be a little cheaper. If this makes sense, call Kal or Chris at ARC and I'm sure they will send you to the right place.

P.S. I live in the Philly area. There's a tech near me who makes house calls. Believe me ... when he comes over to check this or that with my amp, it saves me a heck of a lot of schlepping a 75+ pound monster up a flight of steps, packing it in a 15 pound box and then taking it to FedEx.

Well, the CD 3 is off to ARC to find out what's wrong. My local tech couldn't locate what was wrong but was very gracious and did not charge me a cent for his efforts in doing so. I'll post the diagnosis when I get it and I'll be ordering the Venom Defender to protect it for when it come home to stay. Here's hoping it nothing serious.

CD 3 is now at Audio Research (as of yesterday) now just hope that the diagnosis is not too bad. Will update when info becomes available.

Keep me posted Rsjm80-
I have the ARC CD3 on my radar to buy someday.
I have been reading these forums for a long time now and it is a rare thing to hear about an ARC cd spinner going bad.
Hang in there!

Just got the quote back from ARC and it seems that there is (was) a cap failure and the quote wasn't nearly as bad as I had feared I've called and OK'd repairs and am giving Thanks and can't wait to have it come home again.
