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

I really doubt any number of people (consumers who own the gear) are "dumping" gear because there is something going on with the manufacturer. Normal people don't follow such things about the companies they have bought gear from and would never care. Sounds as stupid as my mom following news on KitchenAid every day because she bought a blender some years ago. Might be a form of insanity. Might want to seek medical assistance from a mental health professional :-) 

It’s not stock, not sure what the point would be. Plenty of spares in circulation and upgrades abound in the market. 

jaym759  I couldn't agree more with jhdprentice...retirement is an opportunity to put your well earned bucks into a great sound system! I have unwavering loyalty to ARC and in fact looking to upgrade some of my current ARC stuff. If ponying up

is the price of admission to great listening, do it...dol it now. Hopefully there will be some great deals with ARC equipment to ease me into my retirement listening years that I have left. Thank you Prentice for sharing your experience.

Apparently a ‘white knight’ has stepped in and rescued the company! This is certainly welcome news. No word on who stepped up to the plate, but I wish them well.
