East Coast Service center referral needed for an ARC D-300.2 amp


Happy 2022 everyone!  I recently purchased a ARC D300.2 amp and would like to have it serviced; however, ARC has informed me that they will not service the piece any longer nor do they have any replacement parts for this amp.  the ARC rep did say that a skilled and qualified service tech will be able to rebuild or restore any parts that may need repair.  Please help me with some locations that will handle any repair or service issue and will have the ability to restore discontinued internal parts. 

 

thanks!

but…..for work that the MC factory might not want to do and good techs on the E Coast, there is always Audio Classics in Vestal, NY. They have the skill to go thru the ARC amp and get it in tippy top shape. For a W Coast based Mac expert I strongly suggest Randy Vikan, he fixes factory defects in MC gear, will he did on my MR-85…. like i said, like all of us…good but imperfect..

Carry on

I recently had a power amp fuse holder assembly ( part of a circuit board, which I do not do any longer ), repaired and rebuilt by Kris Rhoades, proprietor of " Fine Tuned Audio ", located in Central Florida. He is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and so into tubes. He builds tube amps and preamps shown on his website, and are very reasonably priced. 

Listen they are great sounding amps , but they don’t do what other companies do for their legacy products. That is a fact. I’m not a McIntosh fanboy by any measure. I had some of their products from the “Clarion” days.... probably the darkest days ever for them . They weren’t bad, the entry level was better than most brands top efforts at the time and that still holds true today .

I should say that C15 and 7100 never gave me any trouble and I almost doubled my money on them ....
