So you just double down like a kido? Must be the decline of an old age.

.
yore tough old prick and there are not many victories ahead of you so enjoy this one.
you ole prick, yourself ;-)
No victories, just heated arguments.
When two most prominent computer geeks on the forum ( you and E-stat )tell me that Audio Research provides all the info to fix their gear I must believe them, not my own eyes. Also, I'm running low on Rum supplies. No fuel - no heat
you're mistaken.
( you and E-stat )tell me that Audio Research provides all the info to fix their gear
I haven't said that. I explained the nature of the color coding.
Your posts might go better if you actually quote what others say rather than making $hit up.
You explained the justification for the code not the nature of the code which is to make impossible for the user to exercise his "rightful right to repair" according to Abe.
When I explained to you that I have no problem with ARC practice at all but the fact is that ARC does force the user to use it's services and acquire the parts from them and will not disclose the type used, your answer was that "cheap out as you will I send my amps to Minnesota for service "
Well great, but the whole issue was centered around the uproar over Tom Evans erasing the inscriptions on devices requiring sending the equipment for repairs to him and the rights for repair.
My point was that Tom Evans is not the only one (he claims painstaking matching the elements too) and I brought in ARC. Abe said it was NOT TRUE and he posted the schematic of VT 100 with Fet transistors having been marked by internal factory designations. When I asked about color codes , the poor chap thought I'm talking about resistors.
You just sided with your buddy Abe knowing that he was incorrect and he was doubling down like a spoiled kid. And about what? The simple verifiable fact of almost no consequence.
delighted you now recognize your error.
You explained the justification for the code...
Is there an echo in here?
ARC does force the user to use it's services and acquire the parts from them
Sorry if you're too lazy to contact the factory for advice and acquire equivalently tested for factory performance parts.
You just sided with your buddy Abe
I'm happy to respond to anything I've actually posted. Hopefully the act of quoting will avoid your continuing to make up $hit.
As for Abe, we agree on many topics. We also disagree on things even when they are merely observations of reality . ;)
Can you buy of the shelf common active components to service Audio Research equipment based on the provided by factory info in service manual /schematic Yes or No?
If you have problem with my question look at the Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 transistors on Abbe's provided VTT100 schematic and give me the OEM manufacturer code.not internal ARC code.
I'm based in Qualalumpur transoceania , my nephew sent me the amp from Tucson Arizona. I have a major parts suppliers next street and no desire to wait weeks or months for a few color coded transistors while my local Nigas could go through 5000 of them in one day to match them to my liking.
YES or NO?
(no if's, but's and justifications- I know and understand all of them and have no issue with them whatsoever )
Never did. ;)Sorry life's a b!tch for you repairing American high end gear from Malaysia.
Maybe sending gear from AZ half way around the world for repair isn't the ideal solution.

It's perfectly OK. Perhaps not knowing the answer should have prevented you from posting on topic revolving precisely around that small issue?
There is nothing wrong with ARC as a business IMHO. They were always great when I dealt with them and provided stellar services and advice. I wish them all the best even if their equipment is not enough "euphonic " to my liking.
Warm Regards, Woj
PS . I'm in Detroit :)) (BUT could be in Malaysia facing that issue, and I know that Euro guys do face those issues .
should have prevented you from posting on topic revolving precisely around that small issue?I answered a specific question . No more, no less. Glad you finally figured it out!

I gather English is a second language for you but what does this text from prior post mean?

It surely wasn't why ARC obfuscate the origin of parts and do not provide info on the type of device used
Like I said before you provided JUSTIFICATION for that practice which in the context of the whole thread was irrelevant.
The relevant question is. Does ARC obfuscate/hide the type of parts? You couldn't or wouldn't provide that answer and you don't have to know the answer.
The thread revolved around the issue of erasing the original markings of the components which makes unauthorized repairs difficult/impossible or forces the end user to use factory service or acquire factory supplied parts at prices of several magnitudes higher than the prices of those components in electronic supplier store. I did not have a big problem with this practice in most cases.
Abe had a major issue with it since he is a staunch proponent of the "right to repair"
He unfortunately chose ARC as an example of manufacturer which is totally transparent and does not follow this practice which is not correct.The Malaysia anecdote was an illustration of potential problems with your justification of ARC practice and your " I just send my amps to Minnesota and that's it:)

You couldn't or wouldn't provide that answer and you don't have to know the answer.
Maybe it's time to check your meds.
For a tiny JFET, the logical location of the important quality-driven color code is a place easiest to see. Read into that whatever sinister plot you choose.

I observed that. Stevie O commented as well. What does that have to do with me?
The Malaysia anecdote....
Ah, another fig newton of your imagination! :)

is being crucified by the online mob for this very thing. He claimed that he erased the Opamps designations because he matches them to nth degree (and he protects his IP)
In reality the mob can't forgive him that he is able to sell his pre for $30k. The only punishment for that crime can be a death of the company. No less.TOM EVANS- sorry

based upon long term value.
Some companies thrive over time. Others don't.
I don't have a sinister plot around it. ARC has a right to protect their IP since it's providing a unique devices and spends ton of money on R&D and it's not a mass producing conglomerate. It deserves the gratification for that effort and it's perfectly understandable that it does not want the competition to copy the design making some irrelevant changes and marketing it as theirs which is not uncommon practice.
It's debatable how long that protection should last so "right to repair " does have some merit and selling point.
