Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them?

Please feel free to dump ARC. I need a lot more of it :)

Dump away! I’ll happily buy any ARC gear for $1 or maybe more, subject to negotiation. 

I agree with @ideal8592   I will be pleased to take any ARC off of any of you if you want to dump it in my lap.  

From what I have seen, the prices are holding pretty well--at least they are mostly above what I can afford.  I did see a VT-100 up the road from me that is reasonable...I will give the owner a call.

Anyone wants to "dump" a pair of 610's or 750's on me for a few bucks, or a working D-150, give me a shout!

Cheers!

After being seriously into McIntosh & Gryphon gear, I was absolutely blown away by a REF160s so I bought it and added a REF 6SE. Never going back. 
 

Good Luck ARC….!

I wonder what Audio Research's agreement with audio dealers has as requirements.  I have seen my favorite store selling ARC demos AND they are selling demo equipment for VTL, Linn, Moon and others.  

I wonder if the sales are based on guidance for equipment on display, pricing guidance or product lifecycle considerations.
