Audio Research Financial Troubles

Audio Research’s problems are long over. Nothing to do with the viability of the business, but of a highly leveraged buy out by a great guy with the best intentions and a change in the interest rates. If there is some components available on-line, I would snap them up. Audio Research is going no where and they makes some of the very best components in their price range available. I know, I own quite a few of them.

Great company selling lots of great products for 50 years, so always have been many used ones for sale...

Funny. You beat me to it. I was gonna post the exact same question. Lots of AR units for sale on CAM right now.

If you’re in need of high quality tube components and there is a lot out there then there are probably good deals to be made. I would look at that as an opportunity. 
ARC has had its ups and downs like everyone else but I don’t see them going anywhere. They make great equipment and it will provide years of enjoyment. I’ve been using my last ARC purchased for 6 years now and have not felt the need nor have I considered replacing it with something else. 
I can see that there may be some people looking to move away from tubes as the prices have risen dramatically over the last few years but when you break it down it’s really not that expensive. I typically try to listen to my gear 3-4 hours a night       (sometimes more). If you break down the cost of eight KT-150 tubes over 18 months it’s still less than some people spend per day on coffee at Starbucks.
