Kudos to Audio Research

Fixed at no charge! I bought used Ref 210s here on Audiogon about a year ago. Ordered a new tube set from ARC about 5 weeks ago. One 6550 output tube went bad and burned some circuitry. ARC fixed the problem, which was a lot more than just a blowen fuse, and shipped it back in a new box.

I really thought it was going to cost me $1,000.

After 30 hours the unit seems rock solid and sounds great.

Thanks Audio Research.

I have to say that my experience with cj amps is exactly the opposite of Jwm's. I've owned cj amps for over 20 yrs, beginning with the MV75A1 and currently the LP 150 Ms. The amps have been like battleships and have never once had a bad or old tube take out the amplifier.

Once I had a resistor go in a 8 yo MV75A1 and the amp had to go back. That would have held true whether the amp was ss or tube in this case.
