Whatever happened to Ultech

I remember years back of the Ultech 100 CD player that was a hit with Stereophile and some other audiophiles. It seems that the unit had some problems with burning out of displays, but for what I remember it was quite a unit, sonically speaking. They were made in Germany or was the company German. I wonder what happened to this company or this CD player?

Ultech, whose name I don't believe was short for Ultimate Technology, was a Chinese company based in Wheeling, Illinois with most of their operations in other parts of the world. They had a very large building, mostly a warehouse, although it was pretty empty. As far as I know they have been gone for years.

They went down the drain a few years ago.

Didn't know that Ultech was right up in Wheeling. Thanks for posting that Brian. Between you and i, now everyone knows all about a company that doesn't exist anymore : ) Sean
