ARC products are simplicty at its best . A have an ARC tube amp for years and have not spent a penny on repairs ever! only some new 6550 tubes. The equiptent is musical and built to last generations. 25 years from now ARC gear will stand next to The Marantz 10B Family as the best of its time with little company ! Few manufactures can compare ! If the hearsay or upgrade nonsense softens prices, thats great! Jump on a VT 100 mark II its probably better than 85 % or more of whats out there . and for under $ 4,000.00 its a steal! Repairs should be no problem for decades as they are simple designs which do not use any crazy parts to my knowledge !
Audio Research is looking to sell the company
Hello,
I just read on Audio Revolution.com that Audio Research is looking for a buyer to keep the company going for years to come. After all the Tube GuRu Bill johnson is turning 75. The company wants all things to stay the same with customer service. Audio Research products would still have parts to repair their equipment as they have always done. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I am a little nervous having two components from them and having that security blanket that they can fix my future problems. Maybe the new buyers will not take the same approach. What do you think?
