I am just very surprised to hear about these issues. My arc experience has always been great, no issues. I've had many pieces come through here.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant to write similar regarding the fuses. I think every time one blows there is a small pop noise, I also heard it. The rest of the post was more for background. A friend of mine has had ARCs amps and pre amps for several years without any problems and with great results. I think I was unlucky and also that there might be some control issues with this specific model, so am now trying other brands. I have nothing to complain against the Ref 5SE (except maybe the plastic cover top, as I don't like how it bends with the heat), and subject to my future amp choice I might keep it.
