Audio Research Financial Troubles


Was wondering if anyone had noticed that there seems to be a lot of ARC for sale on this site (62 right now) and on eBay there is 268 listings for ARC. Is this in response to the rumor of ARC having financial troubles and people are worried they may go under. Does anyone have an update on this or other info or am I being paranoid? And has the demand for ARC equipment gone down due to this? It appears that the ARC stuff is not selling. Your thoughts.Thanks.

Conrad-Johnson quality has declined?  That's an absurd statement made by someone who has no knowledge of C-J and probably has never owned their equipment.  Their quality has never been better.  I own their latest ART amplifier and have owned their best amplifiers and preamplifiers for 30 years.  The quality of their latest offerings is exceptional.  My friend owns the best of Macintosh with the same experience.  Don't listen to those losers who can't afford better products so feel a need to cause trouble.

So you'd best choose tube equipment from a company that stands behind their products.  Conrad-Johnson and VAC here in Sarasota come to mind.
