Which Wadia a better buy in value terms?

hgeifman--i was under the impression that wadia is not "out of business". but, instead is undergoing a re-organization. furthermore, i was told the new entity, to be managed by a number of former wadia-types, will honor outstanding wadia warranties and will service wadia machines out of warranty. is this different than your understanding? dated info perhaps? thanks.

stereohile has an article describing the wadia situation. it seems the planned reorganization (read: managmement buy-out and relocation to ann arbor, mi as previously reported) did not transpire. instead, wadia's controlling investor has purchased the ownership interest they did not already possess. operations have shut down as the owners look for potential buyers. no mention as to how existing product warranties will be treated. however, no new products will be introduced. i'm a pretty cynical guy and doubt the purchaser, who ever they end up to be, will be up to scratch. that said, levinson carries on in the tradition under which it was created without mark (now of red rose). perhaps there's hope yet.
