Is Audio Research Corp alive and well?


my dealer has not been able to get in touch with ARC re: some problems with my amps. i was told ARC usually provides excellent response and service. i hope ARC is doing ok. i'd hate to see this company go under.

I have good information that ARC is solid and doing fine. The rumors that the company is for sale have circulated for about five years now. No doubt that if the right buyer came along and offered the right money, it could be bought.

In this economy no high end manufacturer is rolling in the bucks, but my guess is that ARC will be around for a good while unless there is something going on that is hidden, even from the employees.

THE CD 2 AS A TRANSPORT IS WAY BELOW THE PERFORMANCE LEVEL OF THE NEW CD3. SO YOU SHOULD TRY THE CD3 FOR A TRUE COMPARSION.
Great link you provided Tubegroover. This is about what I have heard, company is solid but is for sale for the right price and to the right people.
