In Reply to: Any ARC SP-3C owners? What do you think of the upgrade? posted by Tromatic on March 1, 2007 at 18:30:45:
This doesn't come close to answering your question but may shed some light...I have an SP3A that I bought from a friend a couple years ago. He is a an experienced tech that (mostly) rebuilds Dynaco amps, but uses all ARC gear in his home rigs, is very familiar with ARC gear, and has toured the ARC plant. He did some minor upgrades to the SP3A he sold me, put in an ALPS pot and upgraded the RCAs (the ones that get used...) to gold ones. He also bought everything up to spec.
Now, I haven't heard a "stock" SP3A, OR the SP3C, and I suppose I have some sort of bastardized in-between unit. I prefer to think of it as unique... but IT SURE SOUNDS GOOD. I don't want it TOUCHED anymore. I LOVE it and it's PERFECT the way it is.There was an inmate hear, that passed away last year, by the user name Ruffscruff. I believe he had the "C" upgrade done and posted about it. Do a search through the archives under Ruffscruff hear and in tubes to find his results/thoughts. He was a great guy and is missed, and also had a web site where he posted about his ARC equipment. You should find a link to that with some of his posts. This would probably be more useful than my 2 cents worth...
