I have been lucky and established really good relationships with three dealers over the last fifty years. They have become great friends and sources information and collaboration on audio.
Audio Research will be around. It is unfortunate that Trent did not have deep enough pockets to weather increases in interest rates and tube costs resulting from the Russian attack on the Ukraine. A perfect storm. Trent is a good guy, who would have strengthen the brand… I am really sorry to hear him removed. A friend of mine ordered a preamp and amp about two weeks ago. It just arrived. Audio Research is an ongoing concern.
