Audio Research is looking to sell the company
This is old news (as in years old). I would not worry about them being sold. Bill Johnson is simply ready to retire, and at around 75 years old, who can blame him... [email protected] |
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 ! |
Years ago when all the audio world was going the way of solid state, ARC was holding the flag of tubes alone. I believe they will sell to someone who will carry on their tradition of dedication to musical reproduction with tubes and solid state. I have owned ARC gear, both tubes and solid state. I enjoyed both amps and preamps I had by ARC. ARC will remain with us for many more years of musical excellence. Jallen |
