Interesting story. My audio retailer who did not sell me the piece offered to take a look at it and discovered the power switch had been bypassed so the display would shut off but not the tubes. Apparently the person I bought it from never noticed. ARC when contacted said they sometimes do this for burn in reasons and it slipped out that way accidentally. ARC will take it back and repair at no expense and the seller has refunded the purchase price to me. I was then able to buy a demo ref 3 phono.
