ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?

the topic is all in the question.
I saw a used LS15 and it has M-Caps instead of REL or InfiniCaps; it is for sale by a dealer who says he's sure that his client bought it new and that this man told him he made no repairs or so apart from changing the tubes.

do you know of LS15 with stock M-Caps ??

There were two versions of the LS15. The second version had different caps, an improved power supply, and a replaceable power cord. I had my original LS15 upgraded by ARC to the later version, except for the power cord. Don't remember the name of the caps though.

If you go to the ARC Database. The LS15 pictured has Infinicaps.

If you are truly interested in buying this preamp your best solution is to have the seller send it to Audio Research to be checked out. Once Audio Research has given it their approval they can forward the preamp to you after you have paid the seller. I have done this several times with great success. It relieves the seller of liability and the buyer knows he is getting a unit that is working properly.

so, the answer is: no, ARC never used Mundorfs on LS15, as I thought.
I am in Europe, and as some said I'd better buy an LS25 or some Ref than send the LS15 to USA and back, paying ARC's intervention in the middle... ;)
