I still own and occasionally use an ARC system from the 90's. I rotate it into my listening room periodically. V140 Monoblocks and LS2 preamp. The triode V140 amps are so crystal clear, transparent and dynamic. They still have the original ARC tubes (KT90/91 from Yugoslavia) and GE driver tubes. Amps have never been touched and still perform today like they did when new. I always check bias when rotating the ARC system into the music room, and bias has never drifted more than 2mV +/- from the factory recommended 75mV DC. Great sounding system indeed!

Fun Fact: Analog Productions used the V140's as cutting amplifiers in their mastering equipment for vinyl.
