There is also a thread on the VPI forum under the "General Audio" section. It was stated there that HiFi Heaven purchased remaining stock and is selling it, albeit at an inflated price.
I recall when he started up and thought things were finally heading in a positive direction. Think I read retirement but haven't looked into it further.
slaw - Why? Maybe they made the smart move by just buying the remaining inventory. What would make them a "surrogate of VPI"?
Besides, now those warranties are all in question. How long will those units continued to be supported under warranty by a business that has closed their doors? No guarantees of any support, right?
My understanding is that Phoenix Engineering was not unsuccessful. Just that it was too time consuming, so Mr. Carlin decided to return to retirement. I have an Eagle and a Roadrunner. Outstanding products in my opinion. Recent reviews in TAS, Audio Planet and comments in Stereophile are all very positive. Thinking of grabbing a backup for a secondary system while I still can.
