    ARC changed their supplier of speaker binding posts a couple of years back, very much depends on the production chronology of ones ARC amplification.

    brilliant , thats good to know . funnily enough i have asked them 3 times for photos of a certain speaker that they have and no success at all .and its not a cheap loudspeaker but he ho !!

    love the look of the 75 and one amp on my bucket list but my ss amp is so trouble free and good i won`t be parting with it any time soon

    Well got it all wired up and in place but the power cord is a different fitting. steam. So will need to wire the supplied cord into the mains spur tomorrow. Bugger...

    It looks great inside and out - can't wait to try it. Sitting looking it at and hoping I made the right choice... It's so different in looks to my usual Japanese exotica. But God I'm excited....

    I got up early and wired it up, wouldn't switch on!!! Gutted until I checked the line fuse - not screwed in. Sorted that and hey presto. Followed the instructions and waited 20mins before checking bias, hardly off. Adjusted. Then lowered the needle. Music!
    But wth only 5 mins before work it was a short lived moment. Have a couple of hours this afternoon and will try to put in some listening....

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
