@rdh62, Cary has primarily gone to direct sales, so I would guess they are getting bashed by some disgruntled former dealers.
Exactly what I was wondering about, and always "leary", pun intended, of some forum people who dive in and make inflammatory and un-researched posts and then pop out never to return to correct it. Never know what the agenda is or who put them up to it parroting what one person said to them just to get them to buy something else. Sad, even if it means sabotaging one of a handful remaining tube amp manufacturers in the USA still in business.
