DIY Kit AudioResearch ARC Tube Preamplifier Balanced/RCA IN&OUT,12AU7/ECC83+ECC88/6DJ

Hi there,

till now I did more reading than writing but today I need some informations about this what is called a ARC-preamp kit.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002553663346.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.58ad3c00858gF4&mp=1

Even if I doubt that there is a real complete ARC schematic behind it, there could at least be some approaches. But the more important point is that there is also a suitable housing for the kit which makes it more interesting.

I have already created a few tube projects (HiFi- & guitar-amps) but the housing work with normal tools is not that easy.

Does anybody know what's behind that circuit diagram in terms of audio (the periphery pcb is more of a welcome addition)? Is it worthwhile?

Cheers
Claus

Does not look like any ARC pre-amplifier design I have seen or worked on. This is a serious misrepresentation of what it actually is.

They have misappropriated the ARC brand name to promote their own product which is a violation of international IP/trademark law and also may make it subject to removal here as IP infringing.
