ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover


My brand new ARC Ref 6 black was delivered yesterday 6-15-18 from ARC and to my big surprise was the twice as thick plexiglass cover that came with it. I had bought a used Ref 6 silver,natural finish that i had problems with it from the shipment (came damaged ) any way the year that the used one was built was 2016 and had the twice as thin plexiglass cover which seemed to melt on top of the power supply tube. It looks like ARC corrected this problem and now uses the twice as thick plexiglass cover , i can not see this cover melting and causing it to bubble on top of the power supply tube. Nice improvement ARC !!!  And i will tell you that right out of the box it sounds AMAZING..

@bifwynne ..............Yes that is the main thing that the problems were resolved ....And of course to each his own which make this such a fun and personal hobby....I hope you really do enjoy your Ref 6 too!! I know i do..Yep its a terrific piece ...Happy listening !!!

@tattooedtrackman I managed to crack the top of my Ref 5e and received the new thicker, beveled one did you put the narrower side up? I can't find any diagrams!

I think you should experiment and let us know if you hear any difference in sound. 
Narrow side up vs narrow side down. 
 

just kidding.
