Of course there are other audio brands that sand off component part numbers and I'm not fond of them either. You mentioned ARC and I proved that ARC does not do this and neither does Manely. Some brands are transparent and supportive in helping their customers while others are the opposite.
But that's not the main point. The point is that TE bullied and threatened "Mend it Mark" with legal action for posting a YouTube educational repair video of a TE phono preamp. Who does that? A paranoid twit. And no one has sympathy for those. Just look at all the negative comments on YouTube and here in the Asylum.
There's a Right to Repair movement taking place and gaining momentum in the US.
"Right to repair refers to the concept that end users of technical, electronic or automotive devices should be allowed to freely repair these products. Some notable aspects of a product include:
The device should be constructed and designed in a manner that allows repairs to be made easily;
- Repair providers should be able to access original spare parts and necessary tools at fair market conditions. Parts and tools needed to make repairs, should be available to everyone, including consumers.
- Manuals and design schematics should be freely available and help consumers know how to repair their devices.
