ARC D-76A
Almost nothing is documented about the ARC D-76A. The whole surviving record seems to be a handful of classified ads in Audio magazine from the late 1970s and early 1980s, where individual sellers listed the unit alongside other ARC models.
A classified in Audio (January 1979, p.133) offered an ARC D-76A amplifier described as "mint cond." for $750. Another listing from the same year paired a "D76A gold panel amp" with an SP3AI preamplifier at $1,100 the pair. That suggests the D-76A was a power amplifier with an optional gold-anodized front panel. A later ad from January 1988 mentions a D76A "recently retubed," which confirms it was a tube design.
No original price, production years, power output or circuit details have surfaced. The model does not appear in any known ARC catalog or service literature in the archive.
