Well sounds hopeful. The meters on my original 160S started behaving erratically. Evidently meters sourced from China. To ARC’s credit the entire amp was replaced, although I personally would prefer a replaceable part for simplicity and cost long term. New meters reportedly come from same source as McIntosh; however, the lighting between the two meters is of clearly different intensity. Perhaps ARC will return to form follows function under new leadership.
