Ticking noise in Audio Research Reference CD7
No worries Bruce, I probably am also a bit tense as in-laws are vising here from Allentown, PA...From what I know of the local ARC rep, the chances of him coming to fix my CD7 in the middle of the night or even in broad day light are smaller than ...

Sorry, forgot the 6550 matter...This idea came to me from people who have actually done it. I'm by no means an expert who would have come with such a thought from scratch.Your posts on my other thread indeed put the doubt in my mind and I'm verify...

bifwynne, thanks for your feedback...I don't think that taking off the cover screws with a Philips screwdriver then doing the same with 4 screws of the plate and then to the 4 Torx screws of the transport plastic cover is calling for substantial e...

Thanks Hans for all your help with the CD7. Highly appreciated.Now this spinning noise (other than the ticking noise that is as it has been before) is almost constant, unless someone here has a better idea, I'd have to take this unit for a repair,...

Elberoth2, I can't find the Allen key that opens up the 4 little screws holding the plastic cover of the rails. Would you know what I should be looking for?Thanks!

Hello, now the player would also sometimes make this spinning noises on some CDs.Any thoughts?Also, I spoke to ARC about the power supply UG of the CD7 and they say this is needed essentially due to a design issue of the dual 6h30p tubes in the or... 
Fast power cables?
My way to test the impact of cables on my system was taught to me by an old Tibetan monk and I also use it for testing the rest of my material: I listen.What changing one single power cable on, for example, a CD player does to the sound was even i...

Hey, all the red necks with the cynical comments, either be funny and smart, which you are far from, or just go look for other threads to be dumb about.Thanks.

Thanks Oregonpapa.Do ARC also sell out of manufacturing tubes such as the DR or the NOS 6550's?I thought they were only selling tubes that are still available from existing manufacturers and their current tube types.It would cost a lot to ship to ...

Thanks Elebroth. Will check that out.Btw, taking advantage of the ARC experts on this thread and bringing back to life a sort of already discussed matter, does anyone here have an opinion about the power supply tube upgrade of the CD7? Is it worth...

Hi, indeed I reached the second phase of the process and just before attacking the black plastic cover of the rails, decided to maybe discuss the matter with ARC first.The issue for me is that, living in France, the local rep tends to charge treme...
