bringing this thread back, but at the request of my wife, traded in my line magnetic amp for a cool running integrated. Enjoying the amp more than I expected, but it is acting kinda funny. If I turn the input selection switch counter-clockwise just right, it will start cycling through the inputs over and over until I turn the knob to the right. It also sometimes puts the CD input on invert. Anyone have any issues like this? I really don't want to have to send it in to ARC if I don't have to, but at the same time don't want to do it after the warranty expires (sat on the dealers shelf for a long time so the warranty is actually coming to a close). When I called ARC they were suggesting it may be a processor issue and just to unplug and let it discharge for a while but this has not helped yet. Thanks

Dealer is phasing out ARC is the issue. ARC doesn't think it is an issue, more user error (not turning the selection knob all the way confusing the processor). Anyways out of town so will monkey around a bit more with the unit to see if anything gets this sorted out.

Bringing this thread back after 7 years.
Can someone confirm what is the size of the fuse at the back of the unit? Is it a small or large one? Thanks!

Parabellum... Hmmm, as in Luger? I'd love to get my hands on the "Han Solo" pistol, that being the Broom Handle in 9x19 specifically and not that weird .30 cal chambering...
In any case, just look up Audio Research's phone number and speak to their Tech Dept dude. He's cool; unfortunately, I forgot the fella's name. They'll straighten you out. As another off topic, on a whim, I tried some Synergistic Research orange fuses; they made an audible difference I'm good with, but then again, my tolerance in cost for a small improvement is a little bit higher than most so if your tolerance is next to a big fat doughnut (meaning zero), then the orange fuse might not be for you. As they say, YMMV. |

Parabellum from its latin roots as in "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum". Basically, if you want peace, prepare for war. But you know that I am sure. I have this nick name since 1997 I think where at the time I was in college and was an avid computer gamer. I was playing Warcraft II, which I found the nick name to fit the game. Never changed this name ever since. Yes, I have 6 blue fuses installed in my amplifier. I tried the Orange frist in my DAC (Bryston BDA-3) but I had to remove it as I found the sound so extended it was hard on my ears. I have a slight loss of hearing on my left one and if the sound is too extended as it was, I get disturbed by it. Though, the level of detail it brought was breathtaking. I could hear all those tiny minutes details like the finger nails scratching the guitar wires. When I put back the original fuse I was like, meh.. The second one I tried was the main fuse in my amplifier. The results were not quite as dramatic but I found the sound to be on the leaner side. Like, less meat on the bones. I prefered the original fuse in this case. I wish to purchased the DSi200 as it seems to fit my preferences. I also like the idea to easily swap a fuse to improve the sound further more. This amplifier is now 10 years old so I would feel less guilty to do it. The fuse I wish to try with this amplifier is the Audio Magic Ultimate Premier. I am afraid the purple from Synergistic will be too much for my ears.
