and you have to order the parts from ARC and they are reluctant to give the info on the origins of parts if they have it in the inventory. I serviced tens of ARC boxes. Mostly simple stuff and the company has my respect.
Manley does not erase the parts designations because there are no parts suitable for the erasing in the simple Manley designs.
Cloning a transformer based design is not the same thing as cloning a simple op amp device. Without the original transformers you're never going to get the sound of original. ARC dealer said that he had a chance to hear Chinese cloned ARC amp which looked identical to a last detail. It didn't sound like original
