Any ideas?? ARC CD 3 doesn't work

Well, the CD 3 is off to ARC to find out what's wrong. My local tech couldn't locate what was wrong but was very gracious and did not charge me a cent for his efforts in doing so. I'll post the diagnosis when I get it and I'll be ordering the Venom Defender to protect it for when it come home to stay. Here's hoping it nothing serious.

CD 3 is now at Audio Research (as of yesterday) now just hope that the diagnosis is not too bad. Will update when info becomes available.

Keep me posted Rsjm80-
I have the ARC CD3 on my radar to buy someday.
I have been reading these forums for a long time now and it is a rare thing to hear about an ARC cd spinner going bad.
Hang in there!

Just got the quote back from ARC and it seems that there is (was) a cap failure and the quote wasn't nearly as bad as I had feared I've called and OK'd repairs and am giving Thanks and can't wait to have it come home again.

Rsjm80, probably not necessary, but I'll put this out there for you anyway. While ARC has your unit, I would ask the tech to replace any other parts that are subject to aging and spec degradation NOW.

It is my understanding that ARC will not let one if its units out of its shop unless it performs at original spec. But it never hurts to ask. There may be other passives or parts that could use a face lift. I'd ask, even if the switch outs are purely prophylactic.
