In Reply to: RE: Same thing happened over at TAS with a ARC product.. LOL nt posted by 3+4=5 on June 18, 2017 at 13:11:12
...back in about 1995 I wrote a review of LS-2B MkII I purchased because Johnson refused to loan equipment to TAS and discussed the situation.
It had happened before in the 1970s when ARC went solid state and HP didn't like the results.
Ironically, I would say it was TAS that made ARC famous.

HP gave a helping hand to Conrad Johnson also. The C-J boys once took an issue with a Motif project and pulled ads.

I guess that explains why ARC refused to sell me a preamp, even at retail from one of their dealers. I had no history with them at all at the time, except I was writing for TAS. Thanks, Mike :-)

And I remember--particularly since I worked at Garland at the time--JGH in Stereophile wasn't quite sure what to make of the D-100.
