Servicing a tube amplifier is a nightmare. Just try to get a repair done in Manhattan. Of all places where you should be able to do anything. One tube repair center may be going out of business soon. Not because of business issues but because no one wants to do the work on tubes anymore and therefore no one is capable of doing the work. The experienced people are drifting away. Manufacturers are delegating all this to the warranty repair centers which is really stupid.
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.
