Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?

I own all Audio Research equipment. I am very disappointed that Trent has not been successful in managing the company. He has certainly been a great customer advocate. I have no doubt that the company will survive. Their products are second to none.

Trent has responded to my needs and concerns. I am ecstatic owning all Audio Research equipment and will continue to. If I had just purchased a piece of equipment I would be happy that I did. I purchased my first Audio Research component in 1979. It performed flawlessly until 2020 when I replaced it with a newer version…a friend of mine uses the original. 

Is Elon Musk into music…?

He could claim first Tubes on the Moon!!

This is the answer to the question “should a sales professional run the company?”.

‘I’d assumed given Audio Reseach’s pedigree and long standing high end tenure they’d be on very solid ground financially.’

How many people do you think buy ARC equipment? ARC builds great equipment that 99.9999% of the world doesn’t know about nor cares. Even if you take a poll on this website I think you will get a small % of ownership. That’s not a negative thing but the facts in this hobby.

Specialty/low volume stores are going to struggle in this economy and the high interest rates for funding new projects is becoming more expensive. When the economy tanks later this year you will see more companies have problems.
