$510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10?

Wanted to replace the poly covers, but this is unbelievable!!!

Geoffkait 11-09-15: Cleeds "11-09-15: Geoffkait ... why have a cover at all?" One good reason is because the electric current inside of a tube amp or preamp is potentially deadly, often for quite a while even after AC power is turned off. Just use a plexiglass cover. Works great.
