@herman I can’t imagine the current environment *not* contributing to her decision to sell, but I also have to wonder how the new owner expects to deal with it (other than position the company for a resale to PE...is that the buyer’s MO?).
EveAnna has sold her biz
Ralph Karsten has been vocal as to the uncertain future of tube gear. This is a punch to the gut. My totally unsupported hunch is that EveAnna has the same concerns. I always wanted to have one of Manley's 300B amps. I don't know now. I am a very happy owner of a Steelhead phono stage for ten years. Eventually the outboard power supply will fail (they always do) and I may be without the ability to have it serviced if this new owner ends up closing shop.
