eek, is that the consensus out there, that ARC has lost their way? That's the first time I've read that sentiment, unless we're talking about the pricing structure of their product line. IMO, as long as they have the same electronic design team, it's the same company. But they could use a new, more economically-priced line; I think everyone is in agreement on that.
Conrad Johnson Officially Transfers ownership
According to Audio Beat August 17 article, Jeff Fischel is now the owner of CJ, Jeff has been w/the company since the late 80's. Good to see they din't sell to outside interests. Hate to have another Thiel car crash. Also some new gear is on the way. A new ET 7 preamp and a high end Headphone preamp are on the way in 2018. If you look at the current CJ website the ET 5 isn't listed as a current preamp but is in the vintage category. Wonder if the ET 5 is gone??
