trying to reach Art Audio..... are they gone ?

I have a potential buyer who has questions about my Carissa before he commits. I tried calling Joe Fratus in Rhode Island and Hudson Audio in New Jersey - no luck.

Any help is appreciated.

It was a very big mess about 5 or 6 years ago, and then Hudson Audio took over. They disavowed any connection with him on their website at that time. Now, who knows?

Joe Fratus was not authorized by anyone but himself to be the US distributor of Art Audio products. Some customers lost serious money when he disappeared. It is a shame though, as I once had a demo of the Carissa with Tannoy Kensington speakers, and it sounded really beautiful. Most people who have owned them love those amps, and they're pretty too.
