Decibell ... of course I can't dispute your sad tale. If it happened ... it happened.
For the record, all of my electronic gear is ARC. Never had a problem, save for an occasional and very rare pesky blown bias resister.
As I am sure other owners of ARC would attest, every ARC unit comes with a QC card that shows all the QC checks that every unit undergoes. Even Bill Gehl, ARC's official listener, performs a listening test before any unit leaves the factory. And this applies to new units that come off the production line as well as units that go in for repair.
Sorry to read about your troubles. But for the benefit of other readers, Decibell's ARC troubles are a rare anomaly. I hope ARC puts everything in proper order for Decibell.
